MAKE Roanoke's 3rd Annual Jingle & Mingle is upon us and is better than ever! Join us for a festive afternoon of crafting, socializing and merriment at MAKE Roanoke!

This event is FREE and open to the public! You do NOT need to be a MAKE Roanoke Member to attend! We have something for everyone, from experienced makers to complete beginners: all are welcome at this event!

A few things we have planned:
- Shop Demos and Tours: We'll have live demos from experienced makers on various equipment throughout our shops, as well as experienced makers available to show you around each shop area and answer any questions you may have. Find out what you could make at MAKE Roanoke!
- Holiday Crafts: Come make your own holiday card or ornament, paint a trinket, and more!
- Raffles: Enter to win raffles of locally made items or your very own MAKE Roanoke Membership (or win it as a gift for your favorite maker!)
- Coffee Truck: Covenant Coffee will be there with hot beverages and tasty snacks
- NEW MAKE Roanoke Merch: Get your very own newly designed and customizable MAKE Roanoke T-Shirt!

Come for an hour or stay all afternoon. Bring your friends and see what your local makerspace is all about.

MAKE Roanoke is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. All donations, raffle entries, and merch sales go towards improving our makerspace to be able to offer more tools and classes for our community.

Please contact Luke Baker at nerdwyrm@makeroanoke.org with any questions, or if you have an item to donate for the raffle (accepting raffle donations through November 22).
