We love seeing maker communities come together and organize their own Mini Maker Faires! This weekend, the fine makers of Camden, Maine, are putting on the first Midcoast Mini Maker Faire, taking place on Saturday, September 7, at the Camden Public Library and Amphitheatre. They have a healthy array of makers lined up, who will be sharing what they make.
We caught up with library technician and Midcoast Mini Maker Faire co-producer Olga Zimmerman for the inside scoop:

This is our first Midcoast Mini Maker Faire here in Camden, Maine, and we are so excited! The weather is looking fantastic — sunny and 71°F, perfect for the outdoor event. We’ll have one very large tent and some makers outside on the grass in the Camden Amphitheatre, which is adjacent and part of the Camden Public Library grounds. The street between Harbor Park and the library/Amphitheatre (Atlantic Ave) will be closed off to allow for pedestrian traffic only and for some makers with modified vehicles to exhibit on the street. A local independent high school — Watershed School — will be there with a van and its doors open to spill out onto the street with a variety of projects they have been making. We are expecting between 300-1000 people and we know our community will love it.
