West County Fix-It Fair
4/29/23
10 AM – 2 PM
Saturday, April 29 from 10-2 is a West County Fix It Fair held at the old El Molino High School hosted by the Russian River Rotary Club.
Bring by your simple repairs of bikes, lamps, small appliances, wood and metal items and sharpening needs (my garden tools need this!)
There will be a Taco Truck, Wicked Slush and a DJ. What a great idea!
