See you there! If I am not down blowing something up in Maryland...

They hire you again for the hot air balloon convention?

All,

Doug Ovens called last evening and invited local MV owners to come out to the annual show at his gravel pit north of London.

It is alwyas a good time, and you will see old stuff that you don't see very often - steam powered machinery, old cars, small planes - who knows what this year will display?

See you there.

Love the concept - what is the date?

[Stewart Loy]

Charlie,

The show is Saturday 02Aug14.

You were there years ago - do you remember how to get there?

The Steam Show is a 20 minute drive North of London, sort of around Ilderton.

If you head north on hwy. 4, turn west at Hwy. 7, then 9.4 kilometers towards the lake. Neil Road, if I recall correctly. Number 33310 is 1.3 km up that gravel road. Look up 33310 Neil Road, Lucan, Ontario N0M 2J0 for a Googleview of the property. That water feature is the gravel pit, trails in the woods, etc.

Another great day out at Silver Creek - 3 Carriers, a Mule, and Mutt - along with A&W's FAT and 15CWT. And steam engine, many old tractors, old cars, a half-dozen small aircraft and what is probably the biggest collection of old/huge chains saws in Perth County (if not the world).

Thanks to Doug Ovens again.

Like the Governor of California says "I'll be back", and maybe even stay for supper.
