Despite overcast skies, the 17th Annual Bruce County Heritage Association Steam Show, attracted more people than in previous years.

"We're very pleased with the attendance, given the weather," said Heritage Committee member, Robert Cumming.

The show, held at Heritage Farm in Paisley, Ontario,  featured something for everyone, from the children's games to a ladies' program of activities to an antique car and truck show, the every-popular tractor pull and steam operated equipment demonstrations.
