Next weekend, Friday 19th, Saturday and Sunday is the Badger Steam and Gas show by Baraboo, Wisconsin.
They do a parade around on Saturday, flea market, swap all 3. Lots of hit and miss, steam, and displays. Old gas station, saw mill, blacksmith shop and more. They have a website.banana

Well!!! That turned out to be a bust!very mad My guy came up Thursday night to go with Friday. Late in the night..pouring rain. Friday morning...pouring rain. Blasted weathermen! Oh, rain at night and not til evening. So we got up and waited. Finally called it. Went to town to shop instead. He was waiting in the car, I checked out andfrustrated frustrated frustrated pouring rain! It eased and he pulled up to the door so I could load and get in. Weather said rain Saturday. Did in the night. No use. Pay $15 to get in for what? No way anyone was firing a steam engine. Rain on a hot boiler is NOT a good idea. So figure not much running, blue tarps city.
Once a year and doh People load, haul ,travel, pay entry fees and end up sitting in their motel room or camper for the weekend.
Sunday may not rain but grounds will be a swamp. Poor vendors and displayers.blues

I’ve had that kind of rain experience at an outdoor rock concert in Pocono international raceway in PA. We had to park 2 to 3 miles away, and walk it. We were there enjoying the bands when it rained hard. The place lacked adequate shelter with ~250k people attending so we just walked back to the car drenched and disappointed. laugh
