Catch us at Ballston!

This Saturday, from 10-4, we'll be all set up at the Ballston Arts & Crafts Market! Look for our red and white tent at Stuart & 9th Streets (see map below). Once again, we'll have a make-it take-it activity, info on all that we're up to here at SCRAP-DC, and some fun examples of -- what else? -- creative reuse.

As always, we'll also be collecting your scrap and packaging waste (really!). Plus, find out about our upcoming art show and brand new retail/workshop space. Plan to visit a bunch of our neighbor-vendors, too, for what should be a fun day!
