The Syracuse Astronomical Society participated in the Maker Faire this year. A booth was set up inside of the Horticulture building at the New York State Fairgrounds today, and was very successful. People shared their interests for astronomy, with a few looking to become members. A few members attended to help volunteer, including Jeff, John, Tony, Jess and Alex.
