PORT ANGELES — The third annual Skill Share Fair is planned from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19 at the Port Angeles Library.

The fair at the library at 2210 S. Peabody St., is a free community expo for learning and teaching practical, handy skills to help foster a more resilient and sustainable community.

It is hosted by the North Olympic Library System, which oversees public libraries in Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks and Clallam Bay.

The fair will open with a series of classes covering such topics as vegetable fermentation, beekeeping, sewing, drawing and gardening.

From noon until 3 p.m., visitors can visit booths featuring experts from local businesses and organizations.

Topics will range from bicycle maintenance and food preservation to home-brewing and woodworking.

Participants who visit five booths will be eligible to enter a raffle drawing for useful do-it-yourself prizes donated by The Country Woodwright, Airport Garden Center and Hartnagel Building Supply.

The fair is offered free to the public through the support of the Port Angeles Friends of the Library.
