Remember that one time at Makerspace? A fill in the blank game

I remember this one time I had this plan to have a creative beard growing judging contest to just have fun with it. Categories for every type of beard, creatively made beards…
Even asked Michael Paskar to mock up some trophies.

Ps this never happened due to life complications.

What are other memories you hold dear from Dms? Tell a story.

Lovely memories! I remember the donation of beer. I think that picture was just one of several pallets. I know I was able to fill up the back of the SUV and pass some out to friends, and I’m pretty sure one of those cans is still sitting in the kitchen waiting to be used as marinade or something. :stuck_out_tongue:

Remember the time the Ice cream explosion occurred during open house?

What about the time some silly individual built a pancake printer and had half a dozen people trying to determine the expansion rate of the batter to improve the extrusion process?

Remember (September 18, 2018) when the new 15 Ton A/C system was installed in the new expansion of DMS. This was one day after we signed the new lease agreement.

Remember (July 19, 2019) when the Fire Department showed up…false alarm. The contractors that were installing the new Fire Alarm system set off the alarm themselves by accident. Yea…sure. But, the system worked!

Remember (March 18, 2020) when 5,520 of the N95 Masks were donated to the City of Carrollton Emergency Manager to assist with the COVID-19 Pandemic.
