The second weekend of May is always host to the
Rough & Tumble Spring Steam-Up, May 12-13, 2006, Kinzers, Pa.
As an organization we are fortunate to have a neighboring farmer
who leaves one of his fields un-plowed so the members of Rough
& Tumble can use their steam traction engines to break the soil
for the summer crops.
