Jeffrey Boerner, program manager, Fab Lab, Northampton Community College, Fowler Family Southside Center, played guitar in the PBS39 Media and Education Center at the first Lehigh Valley Mini Maker Faire April 26, SteelStacks, Bethlehem. An estimated 1,000 attended the free festival that showcased more than 65 makers, performers, food vendors and speakers. The Mini Maker Faire was a partnership between Lehigh University's Baker Institute for Entrepreneurship, Creativity and Innovation; ArtsQuest; Da Vinci Science Center; PBS39 and PPL. "This is a mini," Boerner said of the first Faire. "It may turn into a Major Maker Faire."
