A Quick Fix for Amarillo: Repair Café is Back Saturday

 AMARILLO – Got a hole in that favorite pair of jeans? The City of Amarillo (COA) Repair Café may be able to save this valued piece of your wardrobe, among other cherished household items.

Jeans are one of the many items that can be repaired at the (COA) Repair Café – a free repair service for all kinds of everyday items, from lamps to computers to clothes.

“Repair Café is a lot of fun – seeing people bring in items that can be repaired and fixed to work as good as new,” said COA Senior Services Coordinator for the Parks and Recreation Department Kari Bachman. “Don’t throw away a household item that isn’t working properly. Bring it to Repair Café and let’s see if we can give it new life – and at the same time share repair skills with the entire community.”

The Repair Café is set for Saturday (September 20) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Warford Activity Center, 1330 N.W. 18^th Ave.

Repair Cafe features volunteer fixers and participants can learn simple repair skills.

What to bring: Each family is welcome to bring one item for repair. If time allows, additional items may be accommodated. Participants must stay with their items during the repair process – this is a hands-on experience to learn alongside volunteer fixers.

Fixable items include dull kitchen knives, clothing/textiles, bicycles, household appliances under 40 pounds, wooden furniture under 40 pounds and computers/electronics under 40 pounds.

Registration is not required.

Calling young artists and inventors! Immerse yourself in the mind of Leonardo da Vinci– building, sketching, testing, and designing, just like the “Renaissance Man” himself. Hands-on activity tables explore his contributions to art, science, anatomy and engineering. Will you recreate da Vinci’s work, or add an exciting twist that’s all your own?

Included with membership or general admission.

Leonardo’s Lab, a traveling exhibit, was developed by Carnegie Science Center (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and produced in partnership with the Sciencecenter (Ithaca, New York).
