Creativ Festival--Fall 2015

Since many of those in our group are crafters I thought I would post this as an interest to some.  It is not technically steampunk but was one of those things that peaked my curiosity.  So if you have a mind to, check it out.  Not 'til October.

Places to Go ... People to See ... Fun to be Had!

Upcoming Events to end of July 2015 .... More soon....

Events of interest to our small but vibrant community. Due to our small numbers, not every event will have a large number of steampunkers present, but I encourage you to go out have a good time, take pics we can post on the blog or facebook and just generally make your and our presence known in a good way. And for goodness sake, have fun!
