Fantastic Event!!

At least 23 items were fixed.
Participants left with over 12 items in the process of repair, knowing what parts were needed and what to do next.

an electric teapot
an electric pencil sharpener
a cell phone
2 CD players
a walker
3 lamps
a picture frame
a set of headphones

Folks left knowing how to proceed with fixes, and what parts might be needed, for:
a sewing machine
a CD player
a file drawer
a tablet
a coffee grinder
a lamp
a blender

a mixer,
... and MORE!
It was loads of fun.
What a GREAT day!
