"This was our first year attending the Steam & Gas Engine show. My husband asked me to come (and I was prepared to be bored!). Boy, was I in for a surprise!! We had so much fun! We came with our 6 kiddos. I just want to thank you for the hands on things. The kids LOVED helping with the sorghum. Even the littlest enjoyed helping pick up potatoes!The sawmill had everyone's attention. Thank you for making an event that everyone enjoyed...even me (the momma).I appreciate that you gave the kids buttons. Several of my kids are still wearing their buttons proudly!!My favorite part??? THE HUGE STEAM ENGINE!! I am now hooked! Plan to see us next year!!

Thank you,

Ruth Frudstrom
