Silver Creek Steam Show 02Aug08

[Stewart Loy]

Gents,

The Silver Creek Steam Show is a go again for this year. The date is Saturday 02Aug08 just north of London, Ontario.

Last year the event had a dozen military vehicles including 3 Carriers, many trucks, AA artillery, a couple of WW2 veterans, and a large display by the Legion. There were 3 light aircraft of the sort used as spotters flying about, and the tracked vehicles scurried about in the fields, woods and small lake on site.

The event has antique cars from the very early teens, steam powered farm equipment, period costumed folks giving displays, antique chainsaw displays, dog agility trials and plenty of miscellaneous fun. Plenty of old timers whose stories make it all worth attending. The event is free to attend and display, and a great lunch and supper are to be had.

The fellow that owns the property, Doug Ovens, puts on the event. The fun starts about noon, so plan to show up after breakfast some time.
