"All this may seem like junk to you, but it is only waiting for us to apply our intelligence to it.  Let's get to work!"
-George Washington Carver

In the spirit of George Washington Carver's sense of resourcefulness, join us for an afternoon of fun as we turn the old into the new!  Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a clothing swap and do-it-yourself workshop for the community to explore creative reuse by recycling used clothing.  Bring at least one bag of your unwanted (but clean!) clothes to contribute to the "store," then dive in and find the treasures you would like to keep. After you have chosen your new duds, slide on over to a workshop to learn how to make modifications or totally transform your finds. Sewing notions will be provided.
