9/28-9/29Rust Library How To FestivalOpportunity to have an educational booth - Dave and Diane spoke with with Allyson Frick at 3PM on July 23. Dave will demo his desktop CNC and Diane will make soap from 10:30-11:30am on Saturday Sept 28 in their community meeting room. There will be other demonstrations on How-to-Make but they will be by other groups/organizations. The purpose is to encourage folks to visit all parts of the library including its maker space. We asked if we could set up a static information table with examples of items made by Makersmiths and they said. They will get back to us to see if we can invite more Makersmiths members to demo a making project in the afternoon of the 28th or afternoon of the 29th (timeframe would be 1-5pm).Diane Painter
