Come and join us for some spooky celebrations at the Makerspace on Friday, October 30th 3-6:30pm!

We'll have homemade chili and biscuits, fresh pressed c***r, and live music to accompany our Pumpkin Decorating Contest!

Contest rules:
1) You are allowed to bring decorations and your own pumpkin from home if you wish, but it must be put together on site. We will have pumpkins for purchase and plenty of decorative materials free to use!

2) No carving! To keep it inclusive for the little ones and to make clean up easier, we ask that you do not carve your pumpkin or bring sharp tools.

Tickets for the Halloween Spooktacular can be purchased on our website ahead of time or day-of at the event!

We've got signage!!!

This was designed with Inkscape (which is a free design software!) and turned into a Gcode file in Carbide Create (another free software) which preps it to be cut on our CNC router! It was then hand sanded and painted by staff and our amazing volunteers.

Feel free to comment with any questions you might have on this process 👇

Our next CNC class will be held in the later part of November - date TBD. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to hear about new classes.
