Join brewing facilitator Liam as he brings out the cider press for a non-alcoholic pear cider pressing! Come by to see and try out the press and taste some pear cider. Stop by for some or all of the event. 

MakeHaven members: join facilitator Stephen for a group badging on the vinyl cutter where you will get to create a vinyl cling to take home (pick the Hey Boo Ghosts or the Bloody Hand Prints). It's a great way to learn this tool and create your first project with it all at once.
