"Growing up as a young boy in Enid, I was fascinated with making things.  In fact, my brother and I had a bag we named the "Making Bag" which we used  to collect all sorts of odd and ends from around our house. It might be a used plastic bottle, a small box, a scrap of fabric, or some left-over parts from something that broke.  It didn't matter....they all went into the bag.  Why?  Because we were "makers."  We dreamed up and created all kinds of interesting inventions from games, to machines, to weapons (we were two boys after all). Most of the time, these things were held together by duct tape and glue, so they didn't last long. But by using our imaginations we developed a set of skills that would last--and in fact surfaced up front and center in our occupations.  

Fast forward 40 years and my brother Kurt is an experienced landscape architect—using his eye for detail and his spatial design skills to fashion beautiful outdoor spaces for people to enjoy. And me? I have spent nearly 25 years as a professional designer creating products, packaging, and printed pieces for a variety of businesses and organizations. Main Street Enid's Maker Trail project is a vital, incredible opportunity for our community!  Our children need to experience the joy of imagining something and then making it actually come to life with their own hands.  I urge you to support this worthy endeavor. It's an investment that could last a lifetime."
