I’m so grateful to have been part of the inaugural Repair Fair at the Hodag Dome this weekend.

It was such a great day connecting with people, answering questions, and helping folks feel a little more confident with their technology. 😊

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hi, ask a question, or just chat—and to the organizers and volunteers who made it all happen.

A special thank you to Koji Taylor from WJFW Newswatch 12 for helping highlight the event—it meant a lot to see our community and this great initiative getting attention.

I’m already looking forward to the next one!

You’ll also find help with small appliances, sewing machines, jewelry, textiles, bikes, and more—so bring whatever needs a little TLC.
