The event, to be held at Westport Town Hall from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m., will be one of the many attractions of the popular Maker Faire throughout the day. 

The Maker Faire, part science fair, part county fair, is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students and commercial exhibitors. This 7th annual event is projected to draw more than 12,000 participants of all ages to Westport.

The Gubernatorial Forum will showcase 18 candidates as they share their thinking and planning for the state. Each candidate will speak, and each will have his or her photo posted with a brief bio on the League’s website by clicking here.
