The New Glarus Chamber of Commerce offered local groups the chance to participate in the Chamber's Festival Tip Program at Polkafest on June 11-12. Groups able to provide volunteers for the bar and token table had all tips received during their shift donated to a non-profit group of their choosing. The Bank of New Glarus volunteers donated their earnings to the Chalet of the Golden Fleece Museum. Volunteers from the Chalet of the Golden Fleece Museum also worked the festival, and received the tips from their own shift.
