In the latest example of the lucrative connection between specialty publications and events, Make magazine's do-it-yourself-themed festival, held this month in California, attracted more
than three times as many people as its inaugural event in 2006.
Make's Maker Faire, with an attendance of 65,000, is for tech enthusiasts who like to create and play with toys.
Produced with Craft magazine, event producers say the fair plans to expand beyond California.
