The Maker Faire did not get a mention in the Key Klix though it does deserve being recognised as it was a success.  The person who got CARA connected to this event has departed the club but I hope we can keep his great idea running.  We generated so much interest in radio and our club while having a lot of fun checking out the Faire.  The Faire organisers were very happy to have us at the event and wanted us to return so the opportunity is there.

Maker Faire Calgary 2017 is this weekend, Oct 28 & 29 at Spruce Meadows, in the Equi-Plex building.  18011 Spruce Meadows Way SW Calgary
