<\/div>\n
What is Steam Eara?  It is the annual celebration of a long lost age in which <\/div>\n
hot steam was harnessed to operate gigantic steam driven tractors.   Because of<\/div>\n
the danger that compressed steam is explosive most of these ancient dinosaurs<\/div>\n
of the farm fields have gone to the scrap heap a century ago.   But not all.<\/div>\n
Some have been kept and maintained and each labour day week end the<\/div>\n
sound of steam whistles echo up and down the Fourth Line of Halton County.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
There may be time for a few readers to visit Steam Era.  Short instructions<\/div>\n

This is our oldest son, Kevin, whose  hat indicates he is an enthusiast.   He even bought T shirts<\/div>\n

Cookbook instead.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Mr. Weeber has made by hand dozens of the cogged wheels that once were driven by stationary<\/div>\n
steam engines bolted to the floors of 19th century factories.  The cogged wheels were made of iron.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is my jig\u2019, he said and I misinterpreted<\/div>\n
\u201cYou mean you can do a jig?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cCertainly\u201d, he responded and proceeded to dance across the floor of the steam display barn\/<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I got him on camera but from wrong side.<\/div>\n
