SHARE TOMPKINS COMMUNITY SWAP MEET #4
Our biggest swap yet!
Saturday, Aug 29th 1-7pm near the Farmers' Market
Like sharing? Have skills? Bring goods and services you'd like to
share, and you'll be able to barter, give away or sell your offerings
to other community members. The more we can provide for one another
locally, the closer we are to sustainability!
Saturday, August 29th, 1-7pm
At Cynthia's warehouse:
742 Cascadilla Street, Ithaca, NY
No entrance via Cascadilla St - please see directions below...

Our fourth Swap Meet will be hosted by Cynthia - she's got a warehouse
with 25 years worth of salvaged construction materials, fixtures,
antiques and more. Bring your own goods and services to give-away,
sell, or barter. Check out live music and meet local groups including
Finger Lakes ReUse, Ithaca Carshare, TCLocal, Ithaca Freeskool,
IthaCan and Ithaca Health Alliance.
DIRECTIONS/PARKING: Walk or drive down the 3rd Street extension across
Route 13 towards the Ithaca Farmers Market. Turn left at Carpenter
Circle before you cross the railroad tracks. Go to the end of the road
and take the gravel path off the circle towards the warehouse. Park on
the grass on the right.
