Westport Maker Faire THIS Saturday!
The 7th annual Maker Faire Westport will be this Saturday in downtown Westport. This is Connecticut’s largest event focused on creativity and innovation. The organizers are planning on a record 12,000+ attendees. Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire Westport is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students and commercial exhibitors. All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire Westport to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.
Meet Stacie!
New-ish to Westport, Stacie is a mom (and entrepreneur!) not to be missed. In addition to being an actor, singer and songwriter who has performed on Broadway for nearly a decade, most notably as Glinda in Wicked, she is also a teacher, arts advocate, and mom to two curious and creative daughters. She is also most recently the co-writer of the children’s album Harmonize, and creator of the Harmonize Kidz arts enrichment program which uses her music to teach social and emotional learning to elementary students. Stacie will sing original songs from her album at a not to be missed family concert to benefit Sandy Hook Promise on May 19th in Newtown. In her free time, Stacie loves hip-hop, craves a perpetually hot cup of coffee, and wishes she never stopped taking piano lessons. Welcome to Westport Stacie; we are so glad you are here!

Meet Melissa!
If the notion “Carry Love with you” resonates in any way, Melissa Levy is a mom you should know! She is the designer and mom behind Devon Woodhill, a unique and truly special line of fine jewelry, whose signature piece is a locket designed to hold pictures of those you love most so you can always carry them with you. In addition to being a go-getter entrepreneur who five years ago finally followed her love for jewelry – and lockets – to launch her business, she is a mom of three who loves a night at the movies followed by dinner with her family, Long Beach walks with her husband and dog Sparky, and reading into the early hours of the morning, while the rest of the world is asleep. She shares how she coped with the more challenging years – and moments – by being honest about them with friends and family who constantly supported her! With Mother’s Day around the corner, and Melissa’s newest line of letter necklaces recently launched, we thought It seemed only appropriate you kick off this month thinking about YOU.
