    Hello, Ben Harris from Maker Faire Burlington (and the Alamance Makers Guild
    and STEAM Junction) here...
    You are receiving this e-mail because you have been a past exhibitor or
    supporter of Maker Faire Burlington. Thank you for your past support!
    I'm writing to remind you that our next Maker Faire event is set for
    Saturday April 28th 2018 from 10:00am to 6:00pm at Holly Hill Mall here in
    Burlington North Carolina.
    Our official "Call for Makers" is now live at this link:
    https://burlington.makerfaire.com/makers/
    <https://burlington.makerfaire.com/makers/>
    I encourage you to consider exhibiting with us again this year and sharing
    your amazing talents, skills, projects, inventions, artwork, performances,
    or education with our attendees! Whether or not you are able to exhibit or
    to attend I ask that you please share this call for makers with ANY
    individual or organization in North Carolina (or near North Carolina) that
    supports the Maker Movement.
    We are hoping to have as many past exhibitors as possible come back for 2018
    and are also hoping to meet many new exhibitors who will share their time
    with the public to inspire, entertain, and educate. 
    Maker Faire Burlington is in its 7th year and we are still proud that last
    year we were promoted to a full Maker Faire by the folks at Make Magazine
    who recognized us for our efforts in North Carolina. We are the largest
    Maker Faire event in the State and the longest running. Last year we brought
    in a crowd of over 5000 people to visit with our 77 exhibits and 250
    individual exhibitors!  This year we want to be even bigger! 
    You can learn more from our website and from the call for makers form
    itself. Please also feel free to contact me directly with questions.
    As always, Maker Faire Burlington has free and open attendance. It is also
    free to exhibit with us so long as you don't plan to sell anything directly
    from your exhibit space (for those wishing to sell items, that is possible
    for a small fee). 
    We are also always looking for sponsorship, so if you are part of an
    organization or entity that can offer us support (financial or otherwise to
    help keep our event free to the public) then please contact me about
    sponsorship.
    Thank you for your time and attention and I hope that you'll be back again
    with us this year!
    Please fill out our form at: https://burlington.makerfaire.com/makers/
    <https://burlington.makerfaire.com/makers/> and please share with others!
    Thanks!
    Ben
    p.s. If you are on Facebook we've established a new Facebook Group for ALL
    North Carolina Makers (part of the new nation-wide "Nation of Makers"
    initiative) This group called "NC Makers" is YOUR group to network, discuss,
    question, share, promote, and otherwise advance the Maker Movement in North
    Carolina. If you are not already a member please go to the link below and
    I'll add you. The group is open to any North Carolina Maker and everyone is
    free to post, discuss, and share (individuals, community groups,
    makerspaces, schools, libraries, maker businesses, startups, etc)
