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!

Magic Forest Arch- by Vector Space
This interactive exhibit will showcase a forest themed Archway into a tent full of creativity! There will be various stations (approx 3 tables) of different crafts for individuals to do to add their own artistic flare to the archway and faux garden beds. This will include various wooden figures to paint, different materials to create with (such as 3D printed items, paper, yarn, etc). This is really an opportunity for people to add a part of their own creativity to bring to life a whimsical arch and faux garden.

Power Racing Series - OKei Fire Co
The Power Racing Series started as a small group of hackers racing stock Power Wheels toys in a parking lot in Chicago in 2009 and have grown to present DIY faires and race exhibits for Maker Faires and other public events. The OKei Fire Co team hails from the Baltimore, Lancaster, and York areas, racing a tiny version of an already-tiny firetruck. Stop by the Power Racing Series track during the day to watch the action!
HideWerks Leather Co
I’m an Engineering student and maker who traded a knifemaker’s forge for an industrial sewing machine. My obsession with leather started during an internship at Moore & Giles, where I learned the architecture of world-class hides. What began as a handmade birthday gift for my girlfriend turned into HideWerks after friends and family started commissioning their own. The Build: I focus on small-batch goods. Since I'm still in school, I don't mass-produce anything; every piece is made one at a time. I prioritize quality over profit margins, sourcing only the best materials because I believe a product is only as good as the hide it's cut from. I use my engineering background to ensure every piece is structurally sound and built to develop a beautiful, lifelong story.
Rooted Exhange
Maybe opportunities for people to practice yoga, but also potentially a craft for kids. I also was a participant from CoStarters
