A Day in the Country

A Day in the Country

To celebrate our 100th post we are going to visit Shenandoah Valley Steam’s Pageant of Steam this Saturday, July 24 in Berryville, Virginia. We’ll be there in our steampunk finery from noonish to 4pm. Costumes encouraged, but if it’s too hot, or not your style, come by and say hello to us anyway, we’ll be easy to find. Parade at noon, horse pull at 6, great bluegrass band after that (sadly we can’t stay that long). Admission is $5 for adults, children under 12 free. The organizers promise a host of old-fashioned delights, and lots and lots of looking at tractors. What say you? Ready for a day in the country?
