Need something repaired? Bring it to a Fix-It Clinic! 

We’ll have experienced menders and fixers on site to help you repair and restore items—absolutely free.

Whether it’s a favorite jacket, a pair of worn-out jeans, or anything in between, our skilled volunteers will do their best to repair it, while teaching you how to do it yourself. In addition to textiles, we can also help with small appliances, electronics, and toys.

No pre-registration required.

  • Items should be carry-in size for hands-on repair.
  • First-come, first-served. Limit 2 items per household.
  • Items accepted until 30 minutes before the event ends.

Non-accepted items

  • Large items that cannot be carried by one person. 

  • Items with gasoline engines.

  • Items needing a full zipper replacement (this repair isn’t available during the event due to time constraints, however some smaller zipper repairs can be done).

Clinic will take place as part of the Earthfest Expo. You'll find the clinic on the lower level.

If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering your repair, mending, or event skills, we’d love to have you join us! Fill out the volunteer interest form.

Olmsted County is hosting its first Fix-It Clinic, partnering with Reuse Minnesota. We're excited to offer this opportunity to help repair and restore your items, with funding provided by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Statewide Waste Reduction and Reuse grant.

Reuse Minnesota was founded in 2012 and is a member-based nonprofit that supports repair, resale, and rental businesses, bringing visibility to the reuse sector as a means to lower our state's impact on the environment.
