I'm planning a 4-H Maker Festival in Leesburg, VA 10/4. I'd love to have a showcase of agricultural inventions such as this one at the event. Do you know of anyone in the Northern Virginia / Maryland area that I could reach out to?

Hi Lenah, I'm in Staunton, VA. We have a new makerspace and a lot of ag/farm type people... We are thinking about putting together a farmhack event. I don't have immediate connections for you but I'd love to keep you in mind as I network and work on this.

Hey there Kate, Please be in touch with me so I can help you put together your event! daniel.b.grover@gmail.com Let's open up a doc--have you seen the [event template](http://farmhack.org/tools/farm-hack-event-tool) that we have? Thanks! Daniel FarmHack Network Facilitator.

Also, just scanned the event template that Daniel sent out and realize I might be able to help. I did a Farmer to Farmer program in Zambia over a year ago now but have stayed in touch with the community helping them to expand on our original project which was all about tomato preservation. I taught them how to make sun-dried tomatoes, tomato powder, and tomato-peanut crackers (kind of like what might be called a raw bread here). So if that's helpful at all holler at me. I'm new to farm hacking and my husband and I just got 13 acres that we've just started farming, so we'd love to just attend too and learn from the community.
