Just returned from the Steam and Power show. Still going on thru Monday. Had the greatest time. Must have been at least 8 train Steam engines running and taking passengers around at the same time. Plus cranes and tractors running on steam. Will make sure I go again next year.
Also plenty of food and a flea market.
Hey Bobwrgt,
I was there on Fathers day weekend. The beautiful Narrow Gauge #7 Shay was running and a great ride through the woods it was. We also rode in/on the other gauges of trains. Walking around looking at all the Steam tractors and other steam equipment was Quite an experience to visit. Oh yes the Ice Cream was sooooo Delicious. Try these sites for info:

Have been there many times.
Several of their locomotives are from the former "KiddieLand" which my parents brought me to when I was a child. I had the pleasure of being there on the last week it was open so my 5 children could experience it!!!!!
It is wonderful they were able to acquire the steamers and F-3 "16" inch gauge? locomotives.
Make sure you go on Halloween for the Ghost Train ride!!!!
