FISH unveils new Carson City Thrift Store 'upcycle' corner, asks locals to help name it
A new “upcycle” corner has made its debut in Carson City’s FISH thrift store at the corner of Carson and Long streets. And FISH is asking the community to help name this corner of the store for a chance at a prize.
“Upcycling is the reuse of discarded objects to create a useful or fun item more valuable than the original,” said Jim Peckham, FISH’s executive director. “Community volunteers have stepped up to refinish furniture, upcycle denim clothing and create some beautiful and funky things. We hope our dedicated ‘thrifters’ will stop by to suggest names for this new area of the store and we invite those who haven’t discovered the value and fun of thrift store shopping will also stop by to visit.”
FISH, (Friends in Service Helping) thrift store sales are a major source of revenue for this local non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of northern Nevadans. Its stores are also a great source of many items useful to those who create interesting and valuable household furnishings, clothing and art objects through the process of “upcycling.”
