Catchy PR?

This was our calender blurb in the Eugene Weekly.

BRING Fest, feat. music, craft vendors, bake sale, yard sale & demos, 11am-3pm, BRING, 4446 Franklin. 746-3023. FREE.

We didn't end up having a yard sale, though we had sales at the warehouse, so that's pretty close. We also didn't have demos, which made me sad because with a place like BRING, which attracts all sorts of creative and resourceful types, you'd think it wouldn't be that hard to wrangle up a few DIY demonstrations. To be fair, you have to be well prepared with your object in various stages of doneness (like a cooking show), otherwise watching some demos can be like watching paint dry.

I think I won't worry about putting 'demos' on the PR...at least this time around.

Sunday June 29th,

BRINGfest, featuring live entertainment, recycled craft vendors, bake sale, and warehouse deals. BRING, 4446 Franklin. 746-3023. FREE.

I have a wordsmithing dilemma. 'Recycled craft' can sound a little messy and careless, and almost all of our vendors at the previous BRINGfest had exquisitely crafted items. Of course we had some wierd and wacky reuse objects, and that's part of what can be done with "throw-away" materials, but I'm not sure it's representative of everything our vendors have to offer.

Upcycled? Reuse craftistry? Repurposed? Or am I overthinking the issue?
