ON THE COVER
The wonder of kites appeals to
all ages during the Washington
State International Kite Festival.
ASTORIA — An end-of-summer Repair
Cafe will be held at the group’s new loca-
tion, 1010 Duane St., 6 to 8 p.m. Wednes-
day, Aug. 22.
Our “fixers” can repair bicycles,
clothing, scissors, garden tools, furniture,
household appliances or something that
just needs to be glued. (No gas engines.)
Repair Cafe is a community of people
who can repair, sew, sharpen or give
expert advice on pretty much anything
broken, torn, dull or in need of repair —
for free!
Help us with our goal to keep 2,000
pounds of broken items from entering our
local landfill. We have scales to weigh
your items and will keep a running tally of
each month’s efforts to reach that goal.
Look for the Repair Cafe event sign!
