Great place! Every bit of it is run by volunteers. Super way to teach kids about machinery of all types. Highly recommended.

Cool! I'm a big sucker for drag saws, etc!

Antique Powerland is the complex where the PNW Truck Museum is located, along with a bunch of other worth while museums. It's well worth the trip to visit the complex if your a motorhead. I havent been there since 2014 and was meaning to attend Steam Up this year, but life got in the way.

We've been going to the Steam Up for years. Best entertainment money I've ever spent. A real piece of an older America. Took my kids there many times as teenagers (and how many places do teenagers want to go with their parents) and they loved it. They are adults now and continue to go. Makes me feel real good.

My pop has a big engine on display in the "big" engine building and has been president of the club in the past. I have been going to Brooks regularly since the mid 1970's

Okay, who's your Pop? Or I should say which engine(s) We've been going for years, since before there was a big building. Is it that beautiful "Oriental" drug out of the mud of american Falls Res.?

We've become addicted to the show and have to go. Price keep going up though, and they keep pushing back the parade, the tractor pull. I don't even know if they have that anymore. I don't have it in me to be there from 8:00 in the morning 'till 4:00-5:00 in the afternoon with no where to sit in the shade. And I would think that they would be able to get some decent food there considering the thousands of people that attend. The food can really suck.

My dads name is Lauren and he owns the big Fairbanks winch engine right across from the Oriental

YAY!!!!!

 

[Ura-Ki]

Perfect timing on my part!!! Can't wait to go again after all these years out of state, alwAys enjoyed the SteamUp, and the swap meet is a great place to find great deals on some cool old parts and stuff! I even scored a old CAT dozer years ago, couldn't pass on it, and the price was almost giving it away!!!
Any one looking for a fun and informative weekend adventure, this is the place to be!!!

We may make it up. I printed out the poster some time back and it's been front and center on the fridge door for a while now.

I'm guessing you're in So. Oregon....There's a antique engine and tractor show every year in Pottsville. That's just a little North of Merlin if you didn't know. It was in June though.

I haven't been to the Pottsville show for quite a few years but I'm pretty sure the show in Brooks dwarfs that one. Plus, there's a whole lotta old stuff at the flea market.

The one year I am not going! Love the steam up. Maybe a meetup or every NWFA member wears a NWFA shirt.

We're practically neighbors. I'm going this year for sure. We used to go every year while my son was young. He went gaga for the tractors. I like the saw mill, the thrashing, and the old engines.
