To our Steam-Up family,

You're the ones who make this event the "Best in the Willamette Valley!" You know the feeling: The roar of the engines, the smell of steam and sawdust, and the pride of seeing our history pass into the hands of a new generation.

We were looking back at footage from last year's event and had to share. This video is a wonderful reminder of the community and passion that we all bring to Powerland Heritage Park every summer. It's a testament to what we build, together.

While this captures the spirit we all love, we're also focused on making our upcoming 55th anniversary the most memorable yet. Get ready for some amazing new additions this year!

Let's make 2025 another one for the history books. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞!
