“Shreddi Yetti & the Plastic Planet Community Art Build Party,” a day of creativity and community, will take place Sept. 9 at the Recology Trash Museum, 555 Vance Ave., Samoa. The event starts at 9 a.m. and runs until work is completed.

This eco-art build party is presented by KEET-TV and Maker’s Apron, and is funded by the PBS Create Channel’s Season of Fun grant.

Also, pancakes — made by the Recology crew — will be available for everyone.
