Have any folks here been to the Sycamore Steam Show in Sycamore, Illinois
before?

It's not clear from the site if they actually fire anything up of if it's
just a picnic with lots of tractors in display.


In years past they have had a saw mill running and a daily parade of
antique tractors, usually including at least a few steam traction
engines, plus displays of stationary engines from models up to full
size (=100 HP), many of which are running during the show. It's well
worth a few hours and the weather this weekend looks pretty decent so
far as temperature is concerned.

If you are in the Geneseo IL area, this is another good show:
