The Green Neighbors’ DIY Fair, Clark County WA 
If you want to learn a variety of useful and eco-friendly ways to maintain your home, plan on attending the Green Neighbors’ DIY Fair on March 15th. Two large local vendors, Lowes and Home Depot will be hosting a number of the workshops. For example, Lowe’s offers lawn mower repair, basic wiring, plumbing and furnance/AC maintenance tips. Home Depot workshops cover sheetrock repair, finish trim, and screen door repair.
Free information, Free Lightbulbs, Free Lunch at DIY Fair
There are also workshops to teach you bike maintenance, canning and preserving, organic gardening, and how to raise chickens, just to name a few. The first 100 people to attend the Green Neighbors’ DIY Fair at Clark College will enjoy complimentary lunches. Free lunch is provided by Frito Lay, Corwin Beverage, and Clark County. There’s also a door prize raffle for a garage space heater donated by Cadet Manufacturing.
Bring in your burnt out CFL bulbs and exchange them for fresh ones, thanks to Clark Public Utilities. There’s a limit of six per family, and no flourescent tubes or fixtures will be accepted. (Although, this EcoBroker, who likes to think she has plenty of common sense, still has reservations about CFLs.) You can read more about my concerns of CFLs here, if that topic interests you.
The Green Neighbors' DIY Fair is absolutely free too. Be sure to take advantage of this great opportunity to pick up useful information and skills. The fair begins at 9:00 AM and continues until 4 PM at Gaiser Hall on the Clark College Campus in Vancouver.

And, I hope to see you at the Green Neighbors Fair on Saturday, March 15th.
