The attraction of the Eastérn Ontario Steam and Antique show was in all respects most successful in its first year in Orono. Although official fig- ures are not available at this time the president, Martin Manders is more than happy with attendance and stated it more than likely ensures the event again in Orono next year.

The machines are in some cases , babied and coaxed as they build up a full head of steam. Spectators, at least the majority are tranced with their operation and in all the show has been a great success for everyone involved. The show not only included steam location but also hit and miss engines, motorcycles, an operating sawmill, two operating shingle mills, thresh ing machines, vintage gas motored tractors as well as antique cars and trucks and an inside display of household antique items. The display even included a horse-drawn hearse, The sawmill was a big attraction when in operation was the shingle mills and a scaled steam engine grinding wheat into flour. At least two parade pasts were held each day infront of the grandstand by all vehicles that were mobile. The Orono Chamber of Commerce has been assisting the Eastern Ontario Steam and Antique Association with their promotion in Orono and as well have operated a beer garden at the show with considerable success.
