     We've been accepted for an exhibit at the October 18-20 Bay Area Maker Faire 2024! Come and see the Commodore 8-bits, Amigas, and other computers at our booth named, "Vintage Computer Festivalers."

     Admittance to the Bay Area Maker Faire starts at $40 per day and on up.  Located at Historic Mare Island, 560 Nimitz Ave., Mare Island, California, USA,  the Bay Area Maker Faire runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.  Mare Island is located across the bridge from Vallejo, California, which is off of Interstate 80 in the North Bay.
     As soon as more information comes in, I'll let you know the exact building and exact location within that building as to where our exhibit will be.

     Multiple buildings and hundreds of exhibitors at the faire,

     Tomorrow is set-up day for the Bay Area Maker Faire!  We'll have our tables in the vast Coal Shed 3.  With more table space compared to the Rocklin Maker Faire, we have more flexibility to set up the hands-on exhibits.  From my collection comes
