Despite only a few weeks in the planning, TC Maker‘s faire featured 16 exhibitors and attracted more than 500 visitors — not bad for the hacker collective that didn’t even have a space 2 months ago.
There was a display of movie prop replicas, a display of circuit-bent gadgets, a wind turbine with blades ground from a length of 8″ PVC, rockets, and a stop-motion movie filming.
MAKE contributor and author Bill Gurstelle demonstrated some of his experiments with static electricity and experimental musician Tim Kaiser put on a show.
However, the hit of the show was the life-sized Operation game made by TC Maker members Jim Wygralak and Nick Lee, which consistently engaged both grown-ups and kids.

As a last-minute addition to the Minne-Faire show this past weekend, I was able to show, but not attend the entire day. If anyone is interested about my art pieces that were displayed (there were 4 pieces up on the side wall for the event), you can find out more at: http://www.erikadodge.com
The work was great- and I hope to be involved with the Mpls MAKER group in the future! Thanks everyone for a great show!
