<div>Hello, Ben Harris from Maker Faire Burlington
(and the Alamance Makers Guild and STEAM Junction)
here... <br>
</div>
<div>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!</div>
<div>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. <br>
Our official "Call for Makers" is now live at this
link: <a
class="aolmail_m_-3790783420986762063gmail-m_-573129449759930875m_-204386129573075412moz-txt-link-freetext"

moz-do-not-send="true">https://burlington.makerfaire.<wbr>com/makers/</a></div>
<div>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. <br>
</div>
<div>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. <br>
</div>
<div>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!
<br>
</div>
<div>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. <br>
</div>
<div>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). <br>
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. <br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for your time and attention and I
hope that you'll be back again with us this year!<br>
Please fill out our form at: <a

<div>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) <br>
