Repair & Sustainability Fair: East End Edition!
Saturday, March 16, 2024 - 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Repair & Sustainability Fair: East End Edition: The WSU Lewis County Master Recycler Composter (MRC) volunteers are teaming up with Centralia College East, the Lewis County Solid Waste Utility and others in the community to a Repair & Sustainability Fair to the area. This event will be held at Centralia College East, 701 Airport Way, Morton, WA 98356. A Repair & Sustainability Fair will be held at Centralia College in Centralia on April 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (exact location TBA).
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.
Here are some examples of items you can bring to the event:
Bikes; air mattresses; lawn mowers; electric items, such as lamps and fans; clothing, curtains, and other textiles in need of minor repairs; tools that need sharpening; furniture
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.
There will also be a Stuff Swap area of gently used items (feel free to bring something to share or shop for something you might need), information booths, kids crafts and hourly door prizes.
