Default STEAM & stuff

This weekend, the Cumberland Valley Antique Tractor Assn will have its
annual show at its museum/show-grounds - 5 miles west of Chambersburg,
PA on US Rt 30 (the Lincoln Highway) to the traffic light, turn right on
Twin Bridge Rd, go @ 1 mile north, show grounds is on left side. No
admission fee, just come and have a good time. Coming via I-81, use Exit
16, go west @8 mi from I-81. If from the PA Turnpike from the West, get off
at Willow Hill PA State Rt 75, south to US 30, go East @9 mi, left onto Twin
Bridge Rd at the light.

They always have a great barbecued (dutch style-vinegar, salt and butter)
chicken dinner, ice-cream, flea-market, tools, all kinds of antiques, and
stuff.

Parade of antique tractors, steam-traction engines, sawmills, rock-crusher,
threshing machine and a real blacksmith shop, entertainment, many displays
of hit-and-miss engines, (a number for sale, usually),
funnel cakes (these are Authentic - well worth the trial),
and a lot more.

Sorry I couldn't get this out sooner, but I didn't know of it until this
minute.

Runs Friday 4PM to after dark. Saturday opens around 8-10, to 9 or 10PM -
yeah, some of the old hold-outs last till then, after they bank the steam
off for the night. Sunday, 10 to afternoon, things usually wind down after
the tractor parade after lunch, and a lot of folks begin wrapping up around
4.

There is a tractor parade Sat and Sun.

I'll be working the funnel-cake concession Friday evening. R.C.M-ers, come
introduce yourself and get a funnel-cake for 50cents just for introducing
yourself.
