The Lake Region Steam School will take place June 27, 28 & 29. The first session will begin at 6:30 PM on Friday night and will conclude Sunday evening. The course will cover a variety of topics that will help prepare students to maintain and operate an engine under Minnesota state guidelines. The course will be a combination of classroom and hands on learning. The instructors will be from our show and the University of Rollag, which has held an annual steam school for a number of years. The registration cost is $25.00 for LRPTA members and $50.00 for non-members. To register contact Mark Johnson.
