VOLUNTEERS?

Each October in Mirepoix is the Fete de la Pomme, the apple festival. They choose a theme, a sculptor creates wire mesh frames, and volunteers cover them with apples. Each shop window also decorates with apples, the street posts are decorated with apples and greens, and it is quite a production. It takes lots of volunteers lots of hours to accomplish a feat like this.

This year is a Spanish theme, and here you see volunteers creating the bull. They attach the apples with rubber bands. If you look closely at the left arm of the man, you may be able to see how he stores the rubber bands he intends to use.
