Kinetic Steam Works Roll Out Festival November 13, 2010

Kinetic Steam Works, West Oakland’s very own steam headquarters, is opening its doors to the public for our annual Roll Out festival. Bring the whole family to meet
Pappy, the 25-ton Case steam tractor, Hortense, the fire-breathing steam tractor, Wilhelmina, the 50-foot paddle-wheeled riverboat, more vintage steam equipment, steam-powered kinetic art, and education than you can shake a stick at. Enjoy libations from the legendary steam-powered margarita maker, plenty of food and drink for all, and live music throughout. The giant iron snail art car “Golden Mean” will be in attendance, along with a hand-cranked replica of a French guillotine, that, along with the “Dingus” Smashing Show will make short work of any post-Halloween jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins that might still be hanging around on your front porch so be sure to bring them along.

When: Noon to midnight on Saturday, November 13, 2010.
Where: 2525 Mandela Parkway, Oakland, CA 94607
Admission: $10-$100 sliding scale donation at door. Kids under 10 get in free (accompanied by an adult).
