SavaTheAggie Posted October 23, 2008 TexLUG was invited to participate at Maker Faire 2008 in Austin, Texas this past weekend. We're not the first LUG to display at Maker Faire, but this was our first time, and we walked away with not one but two "Editor's Choice" awards for our display/booth. We were given a huge area to work with, which we filled with two displays - a Space/Moonbase and a Town/Train (with tall ships). We also had two areas for kids to come and build, one filled with Duplo, the other with regular System. My pictures can be found here: Gallery We had a lot of fun and we hope that we'll be invited back next year. --Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny 5 Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) That is a fun looking display, I wish I would have known about this, I would have attended. I only live about an hour away. Is it held every year? Congratulations on the awards. Edited October 23, 2008 by Johnny 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congratulations on the awards. This was the second year in Austin, they've had other Maker Faires out in California, if I'm not mistaken. I believe it will be returning for a third year, time will tell if they want us back, too. --Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
