The big event with which Rough and Tumble is
presently engaging itself is the May Steam Up, slated for
next Friday and Saturday (May 12 and 13).
According to the association’s April newsletter, The
Whistle, efforts are being made to put some ‘zing’ into the
event. “As always, steam, gas, and hobby exhibitors will
form the core of the show. Both the large steam and gas
stationary engines will also be in operation,” the
newsletter announces.
To further enhance the 2-day program, two special
events are being planned, says R&T president Amos
Stauffer, a veteran machinist and farm equipment dealer
from New Holland. On Saturday morning the group will
formally acknowledge receival of a Conestoga Wagon and

Raymond Worst of Gordonville. Although the gift was
received by R&T nearly a year ago, no public gesture of
thanks had been made so far. On Saturday a team of
Elmer Lapp’s Belgians will pull the antique wagon from
its display area below the gift shop, thereby giving all
visitors a chance to see the wagon and team m full glory.
On Saturday afternoon a grand opening is planned for
