Swap out items from your spring/summer wardrobe! Bring your gently used, in-good-condition clothes and accessories. Pick up something new-to-you, if you wish. Clothing and accessories only. No shoes, please. Women's, men's, teens and kids clothes are all welcome. Please register so we can communicate with you in advance of the event.

Bring a broken or damaged item to the Repair Fair! Volunteer fixers will be on hand for: Bike repair, lamps, electronics and small appliances, knife and tool sharpening, clothing repair/mending, wood & small furniture. This is a free event. Let's repair. See you there!

Join ecomaine for an informative evening presentation at the Springvale Public Library exploring the ins and outs of recycling and the real impacts wishcycling has on the recycling process. From plastic grocery bags to styrofoam to loose bottle caps, many everyday items are easy to mix up, and just because a piece of plastic has the chasing arrows symbol doesn't always mean it belongs in your bin.
