Have you heard of Maker Faire? Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement - and you can probably find one near you. My family discovered it two years ago at Maker Fair Orlando in 2016 and we LOVE it!!!
This year Orlando Maker Faire 2017 will be going on October 21st and 22nd at the Central Florida Fairgrounds & Expo Halls.
My family already has our tickets and we are raring to go, what about you? Well, if you don't have tickets yet you could be in luck. The amazing folks over at Maker Faire are letting me giveaway 2 free ticket packages - each one is good for FOUR VIP Two-Day Tickets to Maker Faire Orlando!

Why are they letting me giveaway free passes to Maker Faire Orlando 2017? Well, I think the Maker Faire folks want more sewists to come! This year students from Orange Technical College will show off their award winning designs and demonstrate pattern making, basic sewing stitches, fabric selection and more. There's also an exhibit that teaches how to copy your favorite jeans.
Also - the call for exhibitors is officially over, but I heard that they love sewists and crafters so much they might consider bending the rules and letting you in. Click here if you are interested.

I can't wait to check out all the exhibits from jewelry makers, artists, and crafters too... there are more each year that we go!
And my kids - they are all about the BattleBots! They got to meet their heroes from Witch Doctor and Shaman that first year and now they can't wait to rush to the BattleBot arena first thing!
