Empower Up Rocks the Clark County Recycled Arts Festival

Empower Up staff & volunteers spent the day helping folks to make their very own wind chimes from recycled hard drives and other salvaged computer parts at this years Clark County Recycled Arts Festival in Esther Short Park. Great weather was on hand for all of the many crafty booths representing an impressive amount of reuse.

We're at it again tomorrow from 9am to 4pm. Stop on by and say hello.

A great story in the Columbian newspaper about the class of 2010 graduating from Clark College. Our very own Recycling Manager, Jerry Hatcher and education and thrift store volunteer Cathi Aakervic are both prominently featured. That's Jerry at the front of the line.
