Repair Fairs
None are scheduled at this time

​
​Repair Fairs are based on the Repair Cafe' model, invented by Martine Postma. They are free community events for repairing things together. When participants arrive, there are tools, materials, and volunteer fixers with a variety of repair skills who may also teach how to repair items.
