Come have fun and experience a unique community event, started in 2014, featuring an array of super creative projects created by local 'reinventors' from re-purposed materials. You will have the opportunity to view all of the creative projects, vote on your favorites and participate in silent bidding on all of the projects you hope to take home with you, while enjoying music, beverages of your choosing and some lite snacks.

Two honors will be given out this year: "The People’s Choice" Award - tallied from the audience votes, and "The Best ReInvention" Award - tallied from a panel of community judges.

TO BE A REINVENTOR

It's easy! Click here and click on Reinventor to register (through January 31, 2017). You'll receive one of two event tickets when you register and the second ticket when you turn in your finished project. Next, create a project out of re-purposed objects and materials (your project can be something functional or a work of art). Your finished project will need to be completed by February 24th (the day before the event ) and dropped off at the Nautical Beachfront Resort Convention Center between 10am-4pm. Reinventor tickets are $20.
