We have your Sunday plans figured out. 👀 Park and start at @titanhollow grab a cider (if you’re of age), and head to the back event space to meet makers. Wander around for an hour or so, see what they’re making, and get your own hands busy. Build a brick and pirate gear with @mydiscoveryspace @itschompshop. Upcycle clothing or make some flair at Low-Fi Maker Studio. Explore, try things, ask questions, and make something of your own. Then grab lunch from the food truck at Titan Hollow or ride the shuttle over to @axemannbrewery for even more makers, making, food + drink. Come curious and stick around for a while! ___________ 📅 October 4 • 11AM - 3PM 📍 Axemann Brewery + Titan Hollow, Bellefonte 🎟️ FREE admission #MakerFaireHappyValley #MakerFaire #HappyValleyPA #BellefontePA

The applications for welding are endless, and over the years we’ve discovered that not everyone learning to weld has a career in the industry in mind. Many of our Welding Basics students are looking to learn a new skill they can apply to their own hobby, trade, or art practice. If that sounds like you, then you should stop by our Mobile Welding Lab at the @makerfaire_happyvalley this weekend! We’ll have our fully equipped training trailer set up for attendees to try their hand at stick welding. Plus, if you’ve been hearing some buzz about laser welding, we’re also bringing along our @theo.laser welder for everyone to check out! 🗓October 3-4 📍Bellefonte, PA 🆓 Family friendly & free admission! 🔗 Link in bio for more details #makerfaire #hobbywelding #laserwelding #laserwelder @therivetds @mydiscoveryspace @axemannbrewery @titanhollow
