The Fredericksburg area is a community of Makers, people collaborating and creating together, following their passions, and just plain having fun!
The Central Rappahannock Regional Library will be celebrating this creative and DIY spirit through October. Browse our event listing here or download the PDF of events.
We are kicking off the celebration on the afternoon of Saturday, September 14, 2013 at the
England Run Library
2 pm: Mark Frauenfelder, author of Made by Hand:
We are excited to have Mark Frauenfelder, the author of the book, Made By Hand: My Adventures in the World of Do-It-Yourself (also read our review). Mr. Frauenfelder is editor-in-chief of MAKE magazine and co-editor of the collaborative weblog Boing Boing. Join us at 2pm for a talk and book-signing.
3-5pm: Festival of Community Makers:
Join us as local community groups showcase their creativity, either with demonstrations or hands-on activities throughout the England Run Branch Library that afternoon. We would love for your group to participate! And hopefully folks will also be thrilled to consider joining some of the groups that share their passions! Feel free to share your schedule of upcoming events, meetings, and workshops, or anything else you would like to spread the word about.
