Second Story Builders will host the inaugural Radical Reuse Festival & Artisan Fair, Saturday, Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., at 2179 Heald Hwy in Union (the old Agway building).

Earlier this year, local resident Danny Salomon (formerly, Habitat for Humanity and the Hatchery Program at Camden Hills Regional High School) launched Second Story Builders, a mission-driven LLC dedicated to pioneering circular construction practices in Midcoast Maine. Through a commitment to Radical Reuse, Second Story Builders reduces waste while crafting unique, sustainable spaces and objects that preserve our past and tell a second story.

The Festival & Artisan Fair will feature:

- Reuse Marketplace: Unique, handcrafted items made from reclaimed materials, including furniture, jewelry, art, and more.

- Chestnut St. House Exhibition & Sale: Witness the transformation of materials salvaged from an historic house in Camden into stunning creations made by local artists.

- Second Story Internship Creations: Explore and purchase works crafted by participants in the paid summer internship program for young builders and craftspeople (ages 16-24), who have spent the summer learning deconstruction, material processing, and design/build skills.

- Live music and food vendors

Learn more about Radical Reuse and how it’s shaping a more sustainable future in Midcoast Maine at the Radical Reuse Festival & Artisan Fair on August 23.
