Trying to help with the housekeeping here by consolidating everything into a big post for you all. Just to let you know, I am the contact person for Steam Century: Yahara. Steam Century: Kaposia is our sister organization (and "lives" in the same alternative world as we do) but I recommend you contact them for specific details about their upcoming events. You can get in touch with them at steamcenturymn@gmail.com

Are you coming in from out of town for the mystery event or will you have time to spend in Rockford before 4pm?
Consider visiting the fine paleontology collections at the Burpee Museum of Natural History. Features include a two-story tall prehistoric coal forest and Jane, the world's most complete juvenile T. Rex.

Ah the Midwest! After a week of 60+ degree weather it snowed on us during the entire rehearsal. However, we planned ahead and dressed in long underwear, caps, cloaks, and gloves. We had a great time with the cast members from Midway Village (we had to be dragged out of the blacksmith shop to actually rehearse, that stuff is so cool!). The brass etching looks great, we have a professional photographer booked to take period portraits, AND we may have some more musical performers coming in to keep you all entertained.
Oh yeah, then there is that little problem of that thing that's murdering villagers, you might want to look into that.......

Even more performers added to the line up! We are excited to announce Musical Storytelling added to April 10th Event at Midway Village!
The Clockwork Violin
The Absinthe Minded Professors
Storyteller Joshua Safford /Violinist Michi Regier
Steampunk Tales
This duo combine Victorian science fiction storytelling and classical music in a bizarre fusion that evokes a gritty future past that never... was, popularly known as “Steampunk.” Drawing on historical seeds of nineteenth century history Joshua creates strange fantasy that is colored by Michi’s textured strings warping the classics. The Absinthe Minded professors will introduce you to a most extraordinary gentleman's hunting club, reveal the rather gory prequel to the nutcracker, and engage in a brief experiment in time travel- all accompanied by Clockwork Violin.
Both these artists are veteran performers of the of the Renaissance festival circuit, having toured the country, as individual artists as well as being part of bands and performance troupes for over twenty years. Both have been involved in performance projects historical and surreal.
