Montreal Mini Maker Faire
There's quite a difference between one of the big Maker Faire's and a smaller Mini Maker Faire. We were just at Maker Faire last month. It was big and grand and impossible to see everything. In contrast, the Montreal Mini Maker Faire was warm and welcoming and everything a "Mini" maker faire could be. We were welcomed warmly, the makers were friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. It was wonderful to discover the making community in a city so close to home. Although I still didn't get a chance to see everything!
