On Saturday, August 23, Free Geek Community Technology Center will celebrate eight years of operation with a Street Party. Geek Fair 2008 Is a free event for all ages. Festivities start at 12pm and go until 6pm. Geek Fair will have live music and delicious food & refreshments. There will be tons of fun stuff to check out and lots of kids’ activities.

The event will be showcasing great local bands. Geek Fair gives the public many fun ways to contribute to the Free Geek cause. There will be a raffle with great items donated from local businesses, featuring a powerful Linux laptop computer among other prizes. Free Geek’s computer thrift store will be open with some great specials and bargains for the computer hobbyist, or you can take one of the regular tours of the facility that will be offered every hour throughout the day.

Free Geek is a local non-profit organization that recycles and refurbishes donated computers and other electronic equipment, making them available to individuals and non-profits in the community. Volunteers can participate, learn and earn a free computer system in the process. Volunteer orientation tours are held Tuesday through Saturday at noon and 6pm. In eight years of operation, Free Geek has helped more than 15,000 volunteers earn or learn to build their own computer system. Free Geek’s recycling program has salvaged over 1,800 tons of e-scrap, keeping toxins such as lead and mercury from the landfill and recovering valuable materials such as gold and copper for reuse.
