ReLit Upcycled Lamp Tour and Concert

Columbia Springs nature preserve and environmental education center, is hosting the ReLit festival from Aug. 31 to Sept. 28, when upcycled and repurposed items that have been made into lamps will be on display and on sale in locations throughout downtown Vancouver. Take a free tour around Vancouver to see the lamps; you’ll be sent a map when you reserve your spot at one.bidpal.net/relit/ticketing(details:ticketing-summary). The tour is also a silent auction; tour-takers will be able to offer bids on the lamps they like.

The month-long event, held in partnership with Columbia Springs’ Repair Clark County program, culminates at 6 p.m. Sept. 28, with “Compositions and Kilowatts,” an evening of music with Ben Cosgrove at Columbia Springs, 12208 S.E. Evergreen Hwy, Vancouver. General admission tickets are $5 and reserved seating tickets are $20. The concert will be held rain or shine; please note that general admission seating is uncovered. Kids under 12 are free. An after-concert meet-and-greet with Cosgrove is $50.

Proceeds support Columbia Springs and Repair Clark County. Purchase tickets at one.bidpal.net/relit/ticketing.
