Fix-It Fairs in PortlandPosted by admin on October 28th, 2014

I love events like this… you show up, get free information, classes, repairs and prizes and leave knowing that you are a better homeowner. What could be better than that? The Fix-It Fair is a FREE City of Portland event where you can learn simple ways to save money and connect with resources. Join your neighbors and talk to the experts about how to spend less and stay healthy. Fix-It Fairs in Portland are coming up:
