Great News Maker Fest is Coming Back in Person This Year to Dover

New England is All About Makers

People in New England are known for their ability to just make stuff work. I think it must be something passed down from generation to generation. My wife grew up on a farm and she is the fixer in our house. If something is broken, she fixes or repairs it. I came home one day and saw her under the sink replacing the garbage disposal. I said, “you can’t do that, you have to call a plumber.” Of course, she did it herself. I grew up in New York City and didn’t even know what a hammer looked like. I am amazed at all the things she and the kids can create and fix.
