[SEL] Insurance and safety rules

[Joseph L Betz]

Hi Jeff,

With that nonsense in Medina, OH (Boiler Explosion), the owner of the
land
where we had Tri-State Hist. Steam Engine Assoc. show in Finleyville, PA,
said - - -
"We're not having any more shows on my land."

With that - Rumors started flying about insurance cost getting way too
high - 
and - Inspections getting way too strict.

Problem was they were all rumors.  

Tri-State started looking for a different site and the only thing that 
looked promising was joining with Washington County Fair.
However - They wouldn't INSURE steam.

Well hell - We're a STEAM club.  What good is a STEAM SHOW without
STEAM.?

We finally decided to dissolve and die with dignity.
