Small Town Attractions - Steam Days, Center Hall, PA
By Deb Bloom
In the middle of corn fields, along a 2 lane country highway, you can find one of the most popular events in Central PA. It's in September, so the weather is usually cool and comfortable. The event that I'm talking about is the Nittany Antique Machinery 35th Annual Fall Show. This year it's on Sept. 10, 11, 12 & 13, from dawn to dusk and features the International Harvestor Tractors and Small Engines. It's located at Penns Cave, Centre Hall, PA, 5 Miles East on Rt. 192. The cost is a mere $5.00 per day but you can get a 4 Day Pass for $15.00. Children under 12 are free. There is also free parking. You need to be warned, too. You will be parking in a corn field that edges the event and I suggest you wear sneakers or some really good walking shoes because there's a lot of walking to do! Even getting through the tramped down cornstalks is a challenge. If you don't want to, or can't, walk the distance, you can ride the hay wagon into the fair grounds for free. And they'll bring you back to your car when you're ready to go! Some of the show activities and events include: Tractor and Equipment Displays and Parades
