The annual Steam-O-Rama is a family event and features a daily parade of equipment, steam & gas engines and displays, antique tractors & trucks, threshing, sawmill, blacksmith shop, plowing, kids activities, the Whinrey Homestead, crafts, a flea market, tractor pulls, and so much more. Our mission is to keep history alive!
