The first full day of the Faire brought with it chilly air and high excitement. From the fire-breathing, animal-shaped vehicles to interactive sculptures, bike-powered live music, and hands-on workshops, the Faire attendees had a plethora of adventures to jump into.
If you weren’t able to make it to the Faire today, there’s still time to come check out the fun. The show continues tomorrow from 10am to 6pm.
