FREE GEEK celebrates eight years of operation with a street party! GEEK Fair 2008 is a free event for all ages with festivities beginning at 12pm and ending at 6pm. Geek Fair will showcase great local bands, plus delicious food & refreshments from local vendors. There will be lots of fun stuff to check out and plenty of kids' activities. Also, to promote bicycle safety, we will be selling $6 bike helmets. In addition, there will be a raffle with great items donated from local businesses and the top prize will be a powerful Linux laptop computer.

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. In eight years of operation, FREE GEEK has refurbished more than 15,000 computer systems. In addition, 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 recovered valuable materials such as gold and copper for reuse.
