Event Details

CALLING ALL ARTISTS AND CREATIVES!
TURN TRASH INTO WEARABLE ART!

Our amazing Main Street visionaries have conjured up a delightful weekend on April 25 and 26, the Second Chance Festival, at the newly remodeled Community Building. The Festival features the Repair Cafe (where folks can bring a wide variety of items needing repair and a panel of talented repair folks will try to fix them all) and “THE TRASHION SHOW – Built from the Bin”. Hours are Saturday 10am to 6pm, and Sunday 10am to 4pm.

The trashy fashion runway show is guaranteed fun for anyone who would like to make a couture-worthy outfit using any and all things thrown away, recycled, reused, repurposed, reclaimed, and rescued from the bin!
