Repair FairEducation Building | 10 AM – 3 PM
Give your well-loved items a second life.
Bring up to two items in need of repair and connect with skilled volunteers who are ready to help bring them back to life. This is a free, community-powered experience rooted in sustainability, creativity, and learning.
More than just a fix, this is a chance to learn by doing. We invite you to stay, watch, ask questions, and pick up a few skills along the way.
We’re repairing:
- Sewing (buttons, zippers, small tears, simple mending)
- Electronics (basic repairs and troubleshooting)
- Jewelry (simple fixes)
Please note: This is not an alteration service. Think repairs, not resizing or tailoring.
Come curious. Leave inspired. And maybe with something you love, restored.
Hosted by Anna Cash of Smart Home Canning, bringing her expertise and passion for hands-on, practical skills to the Repair Fair.
