*kinda, read on!
So Kathy and I are getting ready for Mini Maker Faire in Urbana, IL on April 14th. The fair is being held in an old post office; how could we refuse the chance to have a social in a post office!? We'll be there representing the Alliance of course and will have our sundry goods for sale as well as a free stationery for writing letters on at the fair and typewriters for you to try out. It's a combination letter-writing social and fair for us.
Our paper and envelopes for this social have been generously donated by Conqueror by Appleton Coated. Aren't you guys just the luckiest? No office copy paper stationery for you- oh no! This is some premium stuff. It's smooth, it's thick and it's got a watermark. They also sent along some fun cards printed on their wares as well. Perhaps we'll have everyone at the social sign a thank you note for them.
What's more, we are offering up a typewriter for some lucky person to take home at the end of the fair. What typewriter? How about this typewriter!
The rules are simple. You get one free entry with purchase of L.W.A. membership. If you're already a member, just show your member card and you'll get a free ticket. You can also purchase additional chances to win for $2 each. The biggest rule is that you must be present at the time of the drawing (3:45PM CST) to win and it has to go home with you.
See you all at Mini Maker and good luck!
Pardon my French, but damn damn damn! I grew up in Champaign and my parents still live there. I wish they had this when I was still there and/or when I had a chance to visit, but alas, I will be in Vermont, which is just a tad too far out of the way for a daytrip. I expect a full report with lots of photos! ;)
