October is a busy one with events happening every weekend, many of them supporting our local nonprofits! Whether you’re looking to have a good time or give back to your community—with a lineup like this—you are guaranteed to do both!
Metal Museum, Repair Days October 21st through 24th with various shifts
During this annual event, Metal Museum volunteer repair specialists restore metal items – everything from rusted garden furniture to broken jewelry to warped heirloom silver – to their former glory—all to raise funds for Museum programs. And you don’t have to be a metalsmith to volunteer! There are volunteer opportunities for non-metalsmiths including helping at the estimating table (tagging items, entering customer information into the computer, processing payments, etc.); at the repair pick up tent (calling customers to let them know their repair is ready, tracking repairs that have been picked up, etc.); and with clean-up, beautification projects on the grounds, assisting with the Family Fun Tent activities or the Dinner + Art Auction!
