Welcome Team

*All staff members, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page.

Big Creek is excited for the opportunity to work with you at the event dated November 13-15th, 2024.

A Salute to WAFS Veterans will be a small event hosted by Big Creek for a client whose wish is to uplift and thank their 45+ Veteran employees who have served our great country, as well as their company. By participating as a contractor, you are helping fulfill their goal in staffing this event with other veterans and volunteers who genuinely appreciate the heart & dedication of these service members.

This is a three day event. All staff are expected to arrive, via their own transportation, no later than Wednesday the 13th at 11am, ready to work and set-up ranges, and stations, etc. You will be assigned lodging upon arrival and given until 12:00pm to settle in, prior to reporting to your station to begin set-up. You will be responsible for the breakdown and clean-up of your assigned station(s) and as a group, to clean up and bring the property back to its original state, after event completion. We anticipate this to be a fun and relaxed event, though as a paid contractor, we expect you to do your part.

Should you wish to arrive earlier, on the 12th, gates will be open at 4pm to staff. Meals will only be provided from the 13th-15th, therefore you are responsible for feeding yourself should you choose to arrive early. You are welcome to enjoy the property, respectfully, in your time between your arrival and the time you are to report for work on the 13th. If you have any questions about available activities, just contact Taylor Harper.

All meals and lodging will be provided for you on site at Big Creek, beginning with breakfast on the 13th and ending with lunch on the 15th. On-site lodging is available for staff between November 12th (4pm check-in), until November 16th (10am check-out).

Should you be unable to attend the event at any time between now and November 13th, please contact the event coordinator, Taylor Harper, immediately. (407)-201-0939
