We'll be South Siiiiide in July for the Chicago Creative Reuse Center (CCRX) Repair Fair! Come on out and let us fix your stuff for free.
For newcomers, our group of handy volunteers will sew, test, glue, nail, rewire, etc. whatever you bring us in an attempt to resurrect it. Or, we'll tell you why we couldn't (missing part, exploded, evil, etc.).
We're eager to see what y'all dragged out of the grave or did a good job breaking during the early weeks of summer.
Here are the deets:
Community Glue Workshop at the CCRX Repair Fair
Saturday, July 19th, 12pm - 3pm
Chicago Creative Reuse Exchange
2124 W 82nd Place, Chicago 60620
*REPAIRS ARE ALWAYS FREE*
We have a hard stop at 3pm, so please bring your items on the early side to ensure we have time to work on them. If we don't think we'll have time, we'll do our best to let you know.
THINGS WE FIX
- Clothes (must be washed in advance)
- Kitchen appliances
- Ceramics
- Small furniture (chairs, etc.)
- Toys
- Knick-knacks & tchotchkes
- Broken Hearts? I mean, I think we're pretty good looking.
- ...basically, just bring in anything and we'll do what we can (unless it's a printer, in which case we will likely call the time of death without even opening it up)
HOW THIS WORKS
- We have a parking lot and there's plenty of street parking (all free)
- Bring your item(s) to the check-in table and explain what's wrong, then y'all are free to get a coffee or a sandwich at Hexe Coffee Co., check out the area, run to the bank, write a poem, master some origami
- We'll take your cell phone number and will text or call you when the repair is complete!
- All items must be collected by the end of the event or you risk having the item put out in the alley (Sorry, we don’t have storage space for this stuff...we ramble)·
See y'all there!
