Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops in which a community explores creative reuse through the recycling of used clothing. Admission is $10 plus a bag of clothes.

We would like to assemble approximately 75 swag bags: a small hand crafted reusable shopping bag, made from re-purposed clothing, filled with goodies from various indie crafters and local businesses; to be distributed to at least 30 of the first people to enter the doors and also to the volunteers of SORR for their hard work.

These bags present a great opportunity to get the word out about you, your business, band, or organization and help to expand your client base. Examples of swag include: buttons, key-chains, brooches, patches, soap samples, magnets, postcards or small prints, zines, stickers, etc. Think about what you would like to receive in a swag bag–it is okay to promote your work but no business cards or fliers unless they are accompanied by a product. We ask that each contributer send at least ten swag items, but more is always appreciated!

Each person or business donating goods will be featured on our blog with images of your swag, a small review or description, a link to your website or blog, and your contact information.

Please have your creations postmarked no later than April 7th, for our April 12th deadline. The sooner we get your swag, the sooner we’ll be able to do our blog post! Items may be sent to:
