LiveMom Giveaways!!
What are you doing this weekend? I know, we just wrapped up one weekend and now I’m already asking what you’ve got planned for the next! Crazy, huh? But for a good reason. I’ve got some free tickets to give away for the Maker Faire at the Travis County Expo Center!!
What is the Maker Faire? Taken from their website: Maker Faire is a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It’s for creative, resourceful people of all ages and backgrounds who like to tinker and love to make things. So much to see, you will need 2 days to see it all!
And from their press release: Along with hundreds of Makers displaying their unique creations, specific event highlights from this year’s Austin Maker Faire will include RoboGames, rocket making and launching, Edible Austin’s Food Maker Pavilion, exciting new alternative vehicles and a sustainable village. EepyBird will be showing off it’s new Diet Coke and Mentos Mega Fountains and Maker Faire favorite, the Life-Sized Mouse Trap is not to be missed. There will be Maker Music, a fantastic evening program including fire arts on Saturday, and special speakers throughout the weekend including Col. Joe Kittinger, “The Man Who Fell to Earth – Skydiving from 30,000 Feet”; Dr. Gary Marcus, a cognitive neuroscientist at New York University and author of “Kluge: The Haphazard Construction of the Human Mind”; Patrick Buckley, The Hungry Scientist; Benderella, Circuit Bending, Biology and travels to India; and so much more…
What will you win? Two lucky winners will receive a family pack (4 tickets total) for one day, either Saturday or Sunday. You can choose which day you’d like to go. That’s a total value of $60 per winner!!
What do you have to do to win: Just leave a comment. Nothing else. Nothing complicated.
Two random winners will be chosen by Thursday, October 16, 2008 at Noon. The winners will be notified by email and will be able to pick up their tickets at will call on the day of the event.

Pleeeese! These tickets aren’t for me, but for a good friend who can’t afford to go. Ironically, if not for her I wouldn’t be going. She’s the one who told me about it. Her name is Brigid Dodson.
Thanks!
