2nd Annual Earth Day Repair Fair

  • Barre Historical Society & Museum 18 Common Street Barre, MA, 01005 United States (map)

Join us for our Second Annual Repair Fair on Saturday, April 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00p.m. This free community event coincides with the Earth Day celebrations on the Common!

Our goal is to share knowledge, reduce waste, and foster community connections by helping repair and restore treasured items rather than throwing them away.

Our skilled volunteers will be on hand to provide guidance, demonstrate repair techniques, and assist with the following services:

  • Welding, small engine, and small tractor repair

  • Houseplant service and rescue, with demonstrations every half hour

  • Wiring repairs (lamps and plugs) and small furniture touch-ups/light repairs

  • Knife and tool sharpening (limit two items per person)

  • Ceramics repair — bring chipped or cracked vases, plates, or bowls

  • Bicycle spring tune-ups and repairs

  • Jewelry cleaning and minor repair

  • Sewing repairs for clothing, stuffed animals, blankets, and more (two-item limit if others are waiting)

  • Watchmaker estimates for vintage mechanical wrist and pocket watches

Enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee while you’re here and spend the day celebrating sustainability and community spirit with us.
