There should be steam engines and gas engines running, food at noon (main dish provided, please feel free to bring a side or dessert), antiques cars, and possibly some apple squeezing. It should be a good time, and all Steam Fiends are welcome! Please reach out here or to Kyle N. for an address and for any questions you might have.

Here is a cool photo that was seen at the South Umpqua Historical Society. It shows what looks like a Case steamer belted up to a bailer. If you have never been to this museum, it is right on I5 and is free! If you need to stop and stretch your legs for a few minutes it is worth pulling over and taking a look around.

The text reads:
Threshing scene on Barry Jones place, old H. Jones DLC, located on North Myrtle, 2 miles NE of Myrtle Creek, OR, ca 1910. Tom Jackson ran the machinery. Claire Jones Copeland is the woman in the hat.
