Last week we built them. This week we paint them! If you came to our bench build day, you know the drill. If you didn't, no problem: this is the easier half of the job and a perfect way to jump in. Strong Towns Buffalo is gathering again to prime, paint, and finish the benches we'll be placing around the city.

What to expect

• Priming, painting, and finishing stations

• All paint, brushes, rollers, and drop cloths provided

• Snacks and drinks on us

• Rolling drop-in format: come when you can, leave when you need to

What to wear: Old clothes you don’t mind getting paint on. Closed-toe shoes are a good idea too.

Who this is for: Anyone who can hold a brush. Kids are great at this. Bring a friend, bring your neighbor, bring the person who said they couldn’t make the build day.
