MADISON mini MAKER FAIRE: May 14th

We are so happy to announce that we are partnering with Madison Traffic Garden to sponsor a booth at the Madison Mini Makers Faire on May 15th at the Monona Terrace Convention Center. Our booth will be a makers corner for adults and children who want to make their own mini vertical garden out of recycled materials.

About a Maker Faire

Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker Movement. Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.  Come and be inspired to make!

For all the information, check the Eventbrite page.

Event: Just Eat It Screening

We’re joining the  Madison Traffic Garden and The Hops Museum to host a free public screening of Just Eat It. A Food Waste Movie at the High Noon Saloon on Thursday, February 11th from 5pm-8pm.

This event is a great opportunity to start to bring together the food communities in the Madison area. Whether you are interested in locally grown, food access champions, organic, treatment of animals, food waste management, or just love to eat, we guarantee you will gain something from this evening.

We will have tables set up with local food growers, purveyors, and experts. Everyone will have a chance to check them out prior and after the screening of the film.

Following the film, we will have a panel of local food stakeholders to discuss the movie and detail what our area is doing to highlight, manage, and solve food waste and access issues. The panel will be moderated by Project Kinect founder, Gregg Potter. The panel and additional sponsors will be announced on the timeline of this event.

If you are interested in sponsoring, hosting a table, or have any questions, please email Lisa Nunez at lisanunezpr@yahoo.com or Erin McWalter at erin@thehopsmuseum.org.
