Nine local DIYers, craftspeople and celebrities got to show off their creative talents in the Ultimate Upcycle Challenge: Unhinged, presented by Rust-Oleum. The locals took upcycled doors and had to reuse, recycle and repurpose them for under $100! Guests had the opportunity to bid on their favorite creation in a silent auction benefitting Habitat for Humanity.

Kids had a chance to swoon at dream homes suited just for them at the Playhouse Parade, with landscaping provided by Blue Isle Landscaping. Some of our very talented exhibitors put their design minds to work and created awe-inspiring playhouses that push boundaries and draw admirers young and old. Some lucky kiddos will be creating new memories this summer in these masterpieces as they were auctioned off, with the proceeds going towards the Edmonton Public Library.
