Peoria Repair Café

Peoria Public Library, North Branch 10am-2pm

This event again included our DIY Materials swap and clothing swap, Peoria Bike Coop and Master Gardeners, and we were able to bring a new volunteer in for the knife/scissor sharpening! Hosted by Peoria Public Library North Branch, we thought we might have a larger crowd because of the extra outreach they provided and we were right! Our largest attendance yet, we had 38 visitors and weighed 220 pounds of repairs that did not have to a)remain in your basement or b)go to the landfill.

ICC North Student Center, 9am-1pm

No DIY materials swap this time, but we had our clothing swap again! Also bike repair courtesy of the Peoria Bike Coop and garden tool sharpening Master Gardeners AND our main knife sharpener was not available so we had Jeep and Heather from River City Labs supervising knife and scissors sharpening!

St. Paul Episcopal Church, 5pm-8pm

Our first Repair Café of the year, hosted by Jessica McGee through her North Art Studio space at St. Paul Episcopal Church. We tried a Friday night to accommodate the schedule of some key volunteers, and we incorporated a DIY Materials swap by Peggy West, also a North Art Studio artist. Also a clothing swap!
