And be sure to check out our signature project, the collaborative UtiCARproject coordinated by Sculpture Space artist Marc-Anthony Polizzi and Steve Hale of Steve's Restorations and Hot Rods.  Steve is one of the featured artists and artisans of the History Channel's American Restoration and together with other Mohawk Valley makers will lead faire-goers in ARTifying the UtiCAR, transforming a rusty 1999 Jeep Cherokee into...well, you'll just have to come to the Mohawk Valley Mini Maker Faire to find out!
