"The Georgian Bay Steam Show featured more than steam tractors like the one driven by the young man in photo below. A miniature steam locomotive (above) was a big hit with children who were among more than 15,000 people at the three-day event. The working model built by Wes White is highly detailed and it runs on coal. Above at right, an eight-cylinder 1947 Buick was one of the vintage automobiles on display. On display were cars ranging from the early 1900s to 1965."
