KSW will perform at the 2010 Edwardian Ball! We have lots of new, wonderful items to show off and favorites from last year. We run a boiler outside and pipe in actual steam to run all of our toys. The slideshow below has some shots from last year to whet your appetite.
The entire KSW crew is sincerely thankful to the 800+ people (not counting a couple hundred children!) who attended our Roll Out and helped us celebrate our new non-profit status. Oakland Local published a very nice article and slideshow (at the bottom). NBC Bay Area also put up a lovely slide show highlighting the KSW crew and attendees having a wonderful day. We’re very humbled by the donations that many made well above our minimum asking entrance price and we’re happy to say those donations will allow us to put on more fantastic events soon!
Power Festival. Willits, CA. “The major steam-up event of the year is the Roots of Motive Power Festival, held annually in September the weekend after Labor Day at the Roots facility. Our work efforts throughout the year are aimed at having every piece of operable equipment under power. Plumes of steam and the shrieks of steam whistles will fill the air as a variety of steam-powered equipment is fired up.” Info is HERE.
Oakland, CA. Wilhelmina made her triumphant 2009 return, not so fresh from the brackish waters of the Hudson River, for the grand opening fundraiser for Big Art Studios, Oakland’s newly greatly expanded arts production space! KSW’s stern wheel paddleboat steamer ran… while suspended 20+ feet in the air from a giant crane. Info is HERE.
