What is Maker Faire?
Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these "makers" to show hobbies, experiments, projects.
We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth - a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Glimpse the future and get inspired!
Featured Makers
Natural Dye with plants
I plan on having two tents as I have in previous years. One tent will hold my artwork for sale. The other tent will have a vat of Indigo where participants can pay a small fee of two dollars to choose something to dye with different folding techniques. I am also going to have a table with a display of plants that give a variety of colors with factual information.
PRS Kart - Safety Third Racing
Safety Third Racing joins the Power Racing Series fun with our custom-built electric kart. Simple, lightweight, and built with off the shelf parts. This kart showcases how everyday materials, recycled parts, and a bit of garage engineering can be turned into a surprisingly capable racing machine. Stop by the Power Racing Series track during the day to see team Safety Third Racing in action, check out the kart up close, and learn how makers, students, and hobbyists are transforming everyday components into wild racing machines.

Hill City Homebrewers
We are a local club of homebrewers, mostly related to beer, mead & cider, but have had fun with several other categories of fermentation.

The Happy Hippocampus provides a curated sensory play experience for all ages to enjoy. Visit our display for hands on sensory play, resources to use at home, and free fidgets. As a neurodivergent family we love providing a calming space at community events with hands on tools for grounding. We also give out free fidgets to any one who stops by!
