      Repair Café will be at the Villa Parke’s bigger Auditorium space, with fun festivities as always!

      Repair folks will be on hand for appliances, electronics, clothing, jewelry, and blade sharpening. Hair repair will be back by popular demand!

      There “might” be a bike repair person on hand, but show up anyway as you’ll never know who will show up as you will be surprised with the talent exhibited and the level of enthusiasm to fix items and make them work again.

      The Really Really Free Market will be in full swing as will the seed and seedling swap. Do you have backyard fruits to share, eggs or carrots?

      Come for repairs and experience the community abundance!

      Pre-registration is recommended but not required (limited walk in repairs will be available).

      Come a bit early for street parking and a block or two walk. Enter auditorium from Villa or Garfield.
