This week on the Edge: Maker Faire video starring you! Texas Women of Influence, San Antonio Book Festival and Census reports booming growth.
Census
The San Antonio area added more than 51,000 people from 2014 to 2015, 
one of the largest gains in the country, according to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Combined with Austin’s gain of 57,000 people, Houston’s gain of 159,000 people and the Dallas-Fort Worth area’s gain of 145,000 people, it adds up to 400,000 people.
That’s more population growth than any state in the country, except, of course Texas, which grew by 490,000 people.
Thanks to growth from everywhere, even in little Loving County which grew by 28.7 percent.

Maker Faire
At the 2016 Maker Faire at San Antonio’s Central Library, you helped us make a movie about why San Antonio is a great place to live and how it could be even better.
We asked you what you love about San Antonio and you came through in a big way. Then we asked you how San Antonio could be even better, and you had some great suggestions

San Antonio Book Festival
More than 80 books will come to life this weekend at the San Antonio Book Festival, which is free and open to the public on April 2, 2016.
Dozens of authors will be at Central Library or across the street at the Southwest School of Art. They’ll be talking about their books and taking questions from the audience about their work.
Many of the videos are teasers or "book trailers," while others are videos of authors discussing their work. You can go back and replay them even after the Book Festival to decide what to read next!
