Do you have any items, small appliances, lamps, computers, sewing machines, etc. that need repair? A fix-it clinic is the place to go.
A Fix-It Clinic was held at the St. Anthony Community Center, 3301 Silver Lake Rd., Saturday, Oct. 12. Technicians with expertise in many areas were available for fixing items. They can fix and/or teach you how to fix your items. Guests rang a bell as they left after their item was successfully repaired. The clinic was sponsored by Hennepin County.
There will also be a neighborhood Fix-It Hub at the St. Anthony Library, 2941 Pentagon Drive in the St. Anthony Shopping Center, every other Tuesday from 4-7 p.m. Fall dates are Oct. 29, Nov. 12 and 26 and Dec. 10. Hennepin County Libraries is using the St. Anthony location as a test site, and may roll the program out to other libraries in the county.
