Fall Repair Café

DIY—Everyone has that busted bike, torn sweater or sparky toaster lying around in the “But I could totally fix it!” pile. Well, now you actually can. Rethink Waste Project is hosting a repair café where crafty DIYers share their smarts—and their spare parts—to move you from hoarder to recycler.

5:30-7:30 pm. The Gear Fix, 345 SW Century Dr. Free, but cash to reimburse is encouraged.
