Chatham Repair Cafe - Saturday Sept 26

Thank you to Becky Meier from the Columbia Northeast Repair Café for letting us know about their upcoming Repair Café event in Chatham, Saturday, September 26, from 10 am – 2 pm at the Chatham Fire Department, 2 Hoffman Street, Chatham, NY.

Volunteer fixers will sharpen knives, tune up bicycles and repair antique clocks, lamps, string instruments, lawn mowers and snow blowers. They will also 3D print replacement parts, all free of charge.

In addition, there will be a small army of menders on hand, working in cloth, yarn and leather. Machine sewers and hand sewers will work alongside darners, knitters and leather goods specialists. That means the torn seam, the sweater with a moth hole, the jacket zipper that gave up, the hem that came down, the bag strap that tore loose: all of it can be looked at, and most of it can be fixed while you watch, at no charge!

Our planet can't wait!
