Steam era


We went to Steam Era at Milton on Saturday, the 51st bash out west of Toronto - an old time farm event with traction engines and classic cars. This pink Model A Ford caught the spirit of the event. It was damn hot as we listened to Marion's Country Band, in "can't bust 'ems," playing fifties style. They were interrupted by the local pols and bigwigs, in the official opening ceremony, one of whom assured us that we had the future to look forward to.
