The WSU Lewis County Master Recycler Composter (MRC) volunteers are planning fall Repair & Sustainability Fair at Chehalis Outfitters in the old "Veggies" Building on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The address is 1757 N. National Ave., Chehalis. Volunteers will help you with repairs on clothing and textiles, small appliances, bikes, lawnmowers, and sharpening garden tools. At previous events, the following items were repaired: a drill, a rototiller, a lawnmower, a stuffed owl, a lamp, bicycles, a serger sewing machine, a computer, several items of clothing, and several gardening tools and knives were sharpened. If you have something around your home that needs to be fixed, don't throw it out and bury it in the landfill forever. Bring it to this event. Volunteers will be on hand to do their best to make the repairs and teach you how to do it in the process. Some community members will also be on-site offering demonstrations, so you can learn and improve your knowledge as a do-it-yourselfer.
Repairs will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The fixer volunteers will try their best to help you repair the item, or give you recommendations on next steps, but there are no guarantees.
Additional activities at the event include:
o Information booths to help you live a more sustainable life
o A "Stuff Swap" table of gently used items that people can take home, or leave something for someone else
o Kids' activities
For more information please call Jason Adams, coordinator for the WSU Lewis County MRC Program, at 360-740-1216 or email [email protected].
