ABOVE: The late George Lay prepares to cut the ribbon to officially open our new Blacksmith Shop, made possible through donations of many CAMA members and friends. George was a major donor of construction money and blacksmith tools and artifacts. |

ABOVE: Hawaii Railway #5 was kept busy throughout the three day show. Normally only available for tender rides during the Spring Power-Up, lucky festival-goers were treated to rides throughout the weekend due to reduced crowd numbers. |
