If you're ever curious about checking this makers space out, they have tours every Saturday at 1pm. It's an amazing facility. The building opened in 2022 and it was made just for them so it's a huge upgrade from their previous location, where they were for 11 years. They now have an open floor plan with high ceilings and lots of natural light along with 20+ machines available. From laser cutters/engravers to water jets and 3D printers, the resources they offer are mind blowing. Fab Lab Tulsa is one of 1500+ MIT-chartered Fab Labs in 90+ countries and the first in the southeastern region of the U.S. (that's right, not even Dallas has one). Aside from the studio on the first floor, they have a metal lab and a wood lab, each with 10+ machines available. Both labs have a minimum age and require PPE to be worn at all times. The second floor has classrooms and a conference room. They have a membership model with lots of options depending on how many hours per month you'd like to have as well as what room. The pricing starts at $39 a month, which sounds like an incredible deal since you get to use machines that are $30-60k. Classes are also available for signup on their website along with education programming for kids. They have a couple of workforce initiatives as well. This is a huge asset in our community!

It's an interactive play with lots of audience engagement. The building itself is and feels historic. It's easy to notice on riverside due to its white and tall facade. I reached out to them about doing a private event and Lauren, their operations manager was extremely helpful. She graciously scheduled a time to give me a tour of the space and shared all sorts of great history facts about the space. I believe they'll be launching an campaign to raise funds for renovations, which is exciting! A group of very dedicated volunteers makes all the magic happen. I'm excited about what's to come for this organization!

I am not sure if this church happens to be located in the most rural part of Kiefer or Kiefer is just that rural. When I arrived in front of the non-descript building, I had to double check to make sure I was at the right place. The church is certainly not a traditional church. Attached to the chapel is a rodeo arena which serves the local population. Everyone attended seemed to know each other apart from a few individuals like myself. On their website, they have a potluck-style dinner on Thursday night service which is nice. The dress code for the service today was very casual though.
