Fix It Fair
Hume Council are holding this event for the first time. I am familiar with repair cafes which happen every month via community groups, but have never seen it delivered as an event. So what is the Fix It Fair? It is a free community event that is designed to help residents extend the life of household items, save money, and reduce waste going to landfill.
Full of free demonstrations held on the day, you can learn some of these types of topics.
Start composting like a pro
Pickle your kitchen scraps
Repair wooden furniture
Save seeds for your garden
Make your own eco-friendly cleaning products
Support local wildlife in your backyard
And plenty more!
For more about the event and its details. [ INFO ]
Council Events Calendar
We thought we would add events that are free or cost very little to attend. Check out the Council Calendar for this week [ INFO ]

Marnong Estate’s Double Sunday
Pick of the week!! Marnong Estate are holding 2 events this Sunday, first part of the day you’ll get the creative juices flowing with their paint and sip session. You’ll get a wine on arrival and then get to splash some paint around whilst being guided in an artistic fashion to create your sunday masterpiece. [ INFO ]
Now whilst the paint needs to dry you can now really enjoy the day by letting your hair down, by listening to some great music, as Marnong have brought back Vista Vibes on Sunday arfternoon. Sit under a tree and have a bubbly, or whatever is your choice of beverage, paired with some food and you have a recipe for a relaxing and creative day. If you feel like it, why not stay for dinner.
