In 2014, the show will feature the J. I. Case & Empire Tractor Company.

Additionally, please visit the Plain City Lions Club booth at the Steam Show for their Bob Evans’ “Farm boy” sausage sandwiches and bratwursts. The Lions stand is a huge charitable money maker for the Plain City Club and allows them to carry out their good deeds throughout the year. All of the money raised at the Steam Show goes back into the local community.

Joe will be working a few shifts at the Lions Booth, so stop by and say hi. While you are there, ask him to make you a Lemon Shake Up.

The Lions Club Stand is open from 6 am to 10 pm and they also serve breakfast. You can get pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and eggs (any way you like them).

Black and Orange Cat Foundation will be holding their 6th Annual Garage Sale from Thursday, July 12 to Sunday, July 15 at Board Member, Carol Gaul’s house at 176 Anderson Avenue (which abuts Pastime Park).

The B and O garage sale always coincides with the Miami Valley Steam Threshers Association Show at Pastime Park in Plain City. This is the 63rd year for the Steam Show and they will be featuring the Allis Chalmers tractors in “The Gathering of the Orange.” To see a full schedule of Steam Show events, go HERE.

Black and Orange Cat Foundation is currently collecting donations for the sale.  If you have anything you would like to donate, please call Carol at 614-419-1553.

The group is asking this year that if you bring items to donate, to please go ahead and price them ahead of time. They get a ton of stuff and pricing it all takes several days. B and O also will not take items the week of the sale (unless you have made special arrangements with Carol). It is just too hectic for Carol to have people bring items at the last minute that need priced.

Black and Orange is also looking for volunteers who can come help Carol at the sale and give her a break to grab a bite to eat or feed her kitties. If you’d like to do a shift (from a couple of hours to half a day) at the sale, please call Carol to schedule or send an email to bandocats@gmail.com. The More The Merrier!!

The garage sale will begin each day at 9 am (maybe earlier if Carol has her coffee) and will last until the final buyer leaves for the day. There are always a wide mixture of items. So come, shop early, and shop often.

This is a huge fundraiser for Black and Orange, who wants to thank everyone for donating their treasures to help the area kitties. All donations go towards spay/neuter and veterinary services and helping local cats in need.
