Meet "The Drone Guy," David Geyer
Meet David Geyer, "the drone guy." You have probably seen David's drone-captured photos of Merrimack's popular landmarks and locations that he posted on Facebook; a series that has created online connections by sharing our experiences and fond memories. This project has grown all summer and - by popular demand - has finally culminated with a photo calendar of our hometown! We're delighted to welcome David to the Library to talk about his process! David will bring his drones, explain how the project came together and answer any questions you might have about it.

Players may bring their own Nerf weapons, but weapons must fire standard Nerf darts and may not be automatic.
