Bring
your broken stuff and learn how to fix it!
On April
12, noon - 4 p.m., Hennepin County will bring its popular Fix-It Clinics to the Osseo
Community Center, 415 Central Ave. Osseo.
At
Fix-It Clinics, residents can bring in small household appliances, clothing,
electronics, mobile devices and more, and receive free guided assistance from
volunteers with repair skills to disassemble, troubleshoot and fix their items.
Fix-It
Clinics teach valuable troubleshooting and basic repair skills, build community
connections and reduce the number of repairable objects that are thrown in the
trash.
