We made it to Maker Faire Happy Valley! 🌱 Old tees became new totes. Clothes got mended, not tossed. Cardboard got a second life. So cool to see a whole community of makers come together, all in the name of sustainability. Thanks to @therivetds for building this community. So many cool connections and resources right here in Happy Valley. 💚 Want in? Join the Sustainability Collective.

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

Why do @mydiscoveryspace and @therivetds present @makerfaire_happyvalley? Because @makerfaire events held across the WORLD bring together the kind of community we feel lucky to be part of every day. We’re a nonprofit creating opportunities for people of all ages to explore, experiment, create, and learn. And none of that happens alone. It happens because of the volunteers who give their time. The educators who inspire. The craftspeople who share their skills. The partners and sponsors who support us. The families who show up over and over again. Maker Faire brings all of those people — and makers from near and far — together for a weekend of curiosity, creativity, and projects. You don’t have to be an experienced maker. You just have to be curious. We’re proud to bring this celebration to our community, and SO grateful to everyone who helps make it possible. ______________ 📅 October 3–4 📍 Axemann Brewery + Titan Hollow, Bellefonte 🎟️ FREE admission Come curious. MAKE a weekend of it. ✨ HappyValley.MakerFaire.com #MakerFaireHappyValley #MakerFaire #DiscoverySpace #TheRivet #HappyValleyPA #BellefontePA Made possible through a grant provided by the Happy Valley Adventure Bureau and the Centre County board of commissioners. @happyvalleypa
