We have (and no longer need) a HUGE raffle drum- could be used for bingo, drawings, etc... it is about 5'x3'x3'. It would need to be picked up in downtown Portland in the next week. We also have about a dozen wooden easels that come apart for storage.

Both of these items are free to the first taker.

Worm Composting Workshop at Zenger Farm on Saturday, March 7, 2009 (2pm to 4pm)

At this family friendly workshop you’ll learn how to turn your food scraps into garden compost with red wiggler worms. You’ll also get to build your own worm bin to take home, complete with worms! Cost is $40 per family (includes your own take-home worm bin – a $40 value!). Scholarships are available and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. To register contact Prairie at 503.282.4245 or prairie@zengerfarm.org

Worm composting is a great way to turn food waste into compost to feed your garden or house-plants, or even to raise worms for fishing. It's easy and fun for the whole family - even if you live in an apartment you can have a worm bin.

Founded by volunteers in 1998, The ReBuilding Center is the nation’s largest non-profit reuse center for salvaged construction and remodeling materials.
