Repair Café returns to Amenia Town Hall

AMENIA — The Repair Café returned to the Amenia Town Hall Gym on Saturday, May 4, with fixers ready to repair many items — clothing, bikes, furniture and small wooden objects, lamps, small electronic appliances, as well as offering knife sharpening, antique repair and even a demonstration of seat weaving.

The event was presented by Climate Smart Amenia and sponsored by the Conservation Advisory Council of Amenia. It will return again in the Fall.

Repair Café Hudson Valley events are currently held in more than 60 locations throughout the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Capital Region, and North Country. Each is independently organized and run by volunteers from the community.
