Ladies and Gentlemen (and all other humanoids),
Tonight begins the Halloween celebration. Join us at the Hack Factory where the Women are hosting “Pumpkins and Powertools”. This title should be a fairly accurate description of the event. Bring a pumpkin. We have powertools. Enough said. Also, if you’d like to bring an extra pumpkin in case someone needs one, we are always greatful for people being excellent to each other.

Do not forget / neglect to join TC Maker at the Hack Factory for our open house and Halloween celebration tomorrow evening.
- Costume contest from 6-9 PM. You do not have to be present to win and there are prizes to be won.
- Rumor has it that there will be a reptile show happening early to mid evening.
- Mad scientist lab with props and decorations that will be making their debut tomorrow night.
- Trick or treating
- Pumpking carving
- There will most likely be edibles on the grill (donations encouraged)
- We have gotten permission to show the Transylvania Television Halloween Special at the shop. This will be happening after 10 pm.

The Hack Factory is the place to be for Halloween tomorrow night. If you find yourself with extra Halloween spirit, don’t forget that Pumpkins and Powertools is happening tonight.

Greetings to all makers, hackers, and lovers of all things spooky:

Make Magazine – How-To: Carve astounding art-pumpkins

As some of you have noticed, Halloween falls on a Wednesday this year.  Since Wednesday is open house night at the Hack Factory, we have decided to have an open house Halloween party. We will have trick-or-treating for children from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm, along with food on the grill (donation based) beginning around 7:00 pm.  There will be pumpkin carving for all ages as a BYOP (bring your own pumpkin) event.  Twin Cities Maker will provide some child-safe carving tools.  A costume contest is being held, with more details later this week.

I hope to see you all there!
