Steam-O-Rama Plans
JOYCE BUPP

WINDSOR (York Co.)
They’ll be working up a full head
of steam in Windsor this week.
Steam power takes center stage
in southeastern York County as
the 37th Annual Steam-O-Rama
runs Sept. 29-Oct. 2. The annual
salute to the farm power of earlier
times is sponsored by the Early
American Steam Engine and
Equipment Society.
Activities and exhibitions
scheduled to run through the
four-day event rage in speed and
power from a slow-engine contest
to competitive tractor and horse
pulling. Kids can get into the act
with pedal tractor pulls, while
adults may team-up for the two
man crosscut saw competition.
If you prefer to watch rather
than participate, each day features
various demonstrations of the
myriad uses of steam power.
