I bought a set of wooden chairs about a year ago and one is falling apart. Is there anyone around Brandon that could repair it so that I have a full set of matching chairs again? Looks like the leg was just glued on. Tried gluing it again with some wood glue but it won't hold so obviously I don't know what I am doing lol. Any feedback on how to fix it or who could fix it would be appreciated.

I think furniture can be pretty tricky, but where there''s a will there''s a way.  
 
If you want to glue it again, the surfaces should be nice and clean, sit flat against each other, and wood glue needs to be tightly clamped to have full effect. If the leg can be positioned where it needs to be simply piling some heavy stuff on the chair seat might create the pressure needed.  
 
of course if it slips you could end up with 1 wonky leg. So,  
a discretely positioned woodscrew could help ensure it stays in place. Using a drill first to create a pilot hole for the screw to follow is always a safe bet.

You could also try adding a screw.
