The Connecticut Antique Machinery Association Presents Our Spring Power-Up and Open House!
Saturday, May 2, 2009
(one day before our Annual Meeting)
Rain or Shine (we have plenty of shelter)
Laidlaw-Dunne-Gordon Under Steam
Our usual yearly routine is to have our Annual Meeting on the first Sunday in May, where we start up most of our steam, gas and diesel collection for the benefit of our members. This involves alot of pre-event planning and set-up, so we asked ourselves: Why not tie this event in with a similar event open to the general public? Unlike the Fall Festival, our Spring Power-Up will be a showcase of our own collection only with no formal invitations to outside exhibitors and vendors. There will not be the large crowds associated with our Fall Festival so you will have a better chance to see our collection in action and talk to our volunteer staff and members.

***Please note that we are at the mercy of the "machinery gods". Although we make every effort to get our antique machinery running, we can't always predict that all machinery will be operational on the day of the Power-Up***
