Organizers credit volunteers and staff for festival logistics

Eric Williams credited volunteer Tim Bauer for coordinating bands and managing fees and schedules, calling his work "outstanding" and noting Tim's role across multiple events, including Homegrown Halloween. "A huge shout out to Tim Bauer for all the work he does as a volunteer," Williams said.

Drew White also praised Alex Munoz for helping put together the special-events teaser and mentioned staff member "EB," who is approaching six or seven months with the special events department. The hosts emphasized that volunteers and staff contributions are important to the festival’s production and thanked them on-air.

No formal volunteer-stipend or budget information was discussed in the transcript; the comments are acknowledgments of contributions rather than descriptions of formal labor agreements.
