There is so much going on at the First Annual Maker Faire at Axemann Brewery in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, covering multiple zones and floors, that it’s easy to get distracted from discovering all there is there to do and see. It’s a science fair, craft show, and entertainment venue all rolled into one, where makers and creators of—well, just about everything—showcase what they do, how they do it, why they do it—and then invite you to do it, as well. Or at least interact with the products of their inventiveness.
Toy cars racing each other to their demise; numerous craft, coloring, and painting exhibits; model trains circling multiple tracks; lessons in throwing a boomerang. Want to learn how to design a T-shirt, create stained glass, construct jewelry, or make pottery? Perhaps try your hand at woodworking, soldering, or lacquering? Make a puppet and then watch it perform? Someone is there to help you craft your own masterpiece.
