Summertime means sun, fun, and outdoor excitement for many in and around central Pennsylvania.  It also means the return of car show excitement by way of Carlisle Events at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds.  Annually, Carlisle Events employs some 200 part-timers and will be looking to add to that roster as part of a two-day job fair, February 24-25 within the Carlisle Events offices. 

The job fair runs 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday the 24^th and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday the 25^th and is open to all potential applicants ages 14 and up.  Would-be workers are invited to stop in to apply for a variety of job opportunities.  Jobs range from part-time with the security team to gate workers, ticket takers, customer service, facilities, and more.  Multiple shifts are available too, though a majority of the employment carries primary hours during car show set up, tear down, and/or event weekends between April and October.  On-the-spot hiring may take place.  Candidates are encouraged to bring two forms of ID and be prepared to fill out an application in person at the job fair.  Applications are also available online at CarlisleEvents.com/careers.  The Carlisle Fairgrounds is located at 1000 Bryn Mawr Rd. on the north side of Carlisle, just off Route 34.  Turn at the light and follow the signs for the job fair and the Carlisle offices.

In addition to working outdoors and being around some of the coolest cars and trucks on the planet, would-be hires also have access to the following:

• FREE admission to events before and/or after shift
• FREE employee meal with your shift (up to an $8 value)
• FREE snacks and drinks throughout your shift
• FREE work shirt and hat provided
• FREE parking within close proximity to the facility
• Annual employee appreciation party
• Flexible scheduling opportunities may exist
• Competitive wages

These opportunities exist in a fast-paced, live event environment.

Applicants must be at least 14 years of age for consideration and if in school, would need applicable work permits once hired.  These jobs are great for a student looking for their first work-related experiences, a retiree looking to stay busy, or anyone in between. 

The first large-scale car show at Carlisle is Spring Carlisle and its two-day collector car auction powered by Carlisle Auctions.  The spring events run in conjunction with one another, as Spring Carlisle takes place April 19-23 at the fairgrounds, while the auction takes place April 20-21 at the neighboring Carlisle Expo Center.  Complete schedule information is available at CarlisleEvents.com and job fair-specific questions can be fielded at 717-243-7855 x111.
