Default Silver Creek 2012

Ladies and Gents,

The annual Silver Creek Steam Show is a go again for Saturday August 4, 2012.

The fun starts with a military vehilce parade at 1:00 PM, and will include a superb place to show off your machine to a very appreciative crowd. The venue is perfect for HMV's with varied terrain and courses from mild to wild.

Doug Ovens is our host again this year, and would like to get as many green machines as possible to salute the few WW2 veterans that can still come out from the local area. A birthday party for a 100 year old former OPP office will be held, so be sure to attend.

Probably the best place to run your Carrier or jeep beside a thrashing machine!

Lunch and a great dinner are provided, and some cold drinks are usually found on a perfect, sunny day (guaranteed, or three times your money back!).

Directions as above.

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


Stewart

Default 02Aug14 show date

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.

Default Silver Creek Show 02Aug14

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.
