We have a few minor changes in the Makers that will be attending. A few have decided not to come, and we’ve added a few others. We will be updating the lists as soon as we are able. The current list is about 98% accurate with the changes.
In the meantime …
The Rochester Mini Maker Fair is just days away! And it looks like we can now give a more accurate picture about the number of booths and talks.
Provided we do not have any unexpected cancellations, we will have 93 maker booths and 6 maker talks/presentations.
Some of the booths are very large and will offer multiple exhibits and interactive activities. Especially booths such as RMSC, RIT, TakeItApart, Zest for Art, University of Rochester, Simplified Building, Connect a Million Minds from TWC, the Monroe County Library System, RARA, MCC, Hummingbird Makeshop, the Physics Bus . . and I could just keep going and going and going.
Get your tickets while they are cheap!! YES, you can buy them at the door, but why pay $12 for a ticket, when you can pay $7? Why pay $45 for a Family Pass when you can pay $30?

Our Call for Makers is now closed.
Thank you to everyone who submitted applications to be Makers at the Rochester Mini Maker Faire! We had just over 90 applications submitted. You will start to receive acceptance notices shortly.
Everyone should expect a list of ALL accepted makers, and talks by the end of next week. It will be a tentative list as it will also include those that have not yet sent their Maker Agreement form back to us.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Mini Maker Faire next month. Only 37 days till then!

October has STARTED???? That means . . . . that means . . .. there’s only a few days LEFT to get your application it to have a Booth or Give a Talk or Performance at the Rochester Mini Maker Faire!!!!
Let me make a few of things clear.
1. You don’t have to live in the city of Rochester to apply. If you can drive here you can apply here.
2. You do NOT need to be a professional. If you are a child (you do need to have your parent apply for you) that does tons of Papercraft, or painting, or robotics, and you want to share what you do . . we’d love to see you apply. If you are a tinkerer and have never really shown the world the things you create or alter/hack NOW’s the TIME!
3. We are getting close to 60 applications, and we would like to FILL the first floor of the convention center. We can take in a lot more. IF you know of any artisans or craftsmen, tinkerers, hackers, robotics oriented people, or whatnot please encourage them to apply. If your local school does anything like this stuff . . give them a big push to apply and share.
And there are some benefits to having a spot at the Faire. Makers can get up to 8 free tickets for their booth. If you only need a couple of people to man your booth, then you can take shifts and still have a chance to enjoy the Faire. You also can pass out business cards, and make new friends and connections.
Deadline October 15!!!
Apply Now! http://makerfairerochester.com/call-for-makers/
