Repair Fair
2025-08-02 13:00 - 16:00 | OR
Repair Fairs are events where volunteers with “fixing” skills help others fix broken items. You may have also heard them called fix-it clinics or Repair Cafes. The volunteers may be able to repair small appliances like blenders or coffee makers, jewelry, bikes or clothing that needs a new button or a zipper fix. Meeting new people, learning useful skills and keeping usable items out of the landfill – good things can happen at a Repair Fair. Find out more by visiting washingtoncountyor.gov/swr/repair.
Please no gas-powered equipment, TVs or microwaves. It is encouraged that you register your item for repair ahead of time by filling out this online form. If you’re having trouble with the form, click here to email us the info of what is needed.
Want to volunteer to help at the event? Fill out this online form or email askusSPL@sherwoodoregon.gov with your contact info if you’re having trouble with the form.

From the publisher:
A retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both harrowing and ferociously funny, told from the enslaved Jim’s point of view. When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. While many narrative set pieces of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place, Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.
