Christmas parade fort smith AR

16 kids 6 adults. 80#s of steam to blow the whistle for every kid that asked. Great Fun for my family and friends. Brand new paint on "fearless". She's 32 feet with a 1918 Navy K engine. It was THE hit along the parade route. Pulled by my 1947 GMC dump truck.

Great to show off the steamer. At the Rough & Tumble Engineers (Kinzers PA) Steam Parade the sidewheeler is also very popular among all the steam traction engines in the parade. I usually enlist about a dozen Amish children to ride the boat thru the parade, while I tow it on the trailer with a Ford.
