For more than a decade the staff and families of Park Day School have joyfully 🤩 put on the East Bay Mini Maker Faire as a true labor of love for our community. 💝 Between the dangers of the pandemic 🦠 and fire season 🔥 and the corresponding economic impact 💸 on so many of our local Makers, this year's EBMMF is on hold for the time being. Thank you 🙏for your support over the years. We can’t wait to welcome our Makers and all our guests back to the Park Day School Campus for the next East Bay Mini Maker Faire!

Thank you to the readers of the East Bay Express for voting us the Best Maker Event in this year's Best of the East Bay edition! We're humbled and appreciate your support! Keep on making, fellow Makers!
