The Cabin Fever Model Engine Show is an event held every year at the York Fairgrounds. If you are remotely interested in this type of thing then you need to put it on next years calender because it is simply amazing. We decided to participate this year by getting our own table at the show and it ended up being a successful decision.

This is the second year that the students have been building Stirling engines at school so attending the model engine show made sense. We were well received and we felt at the end of the day that we had succeeded in promoting the program. Many people were amazed at the quality of work our students are able to do in two years and we were able to hand out quite a bit of literature about our program and the college. Of course we told everyone that not only is Machine Tool the coolest but is hands down the best major at Stevens College. There were not many doubters on this point.
At least a dozen students came to the show on their own and we were visited by just as many alumni. The vast majority of people in attendance have at least some knowledge of machining and many of the exhibitors are master machinists and tool & die makers. Needless to say, there was plenty of conversation about machining and many people were encouraged by our efforts. It was a good day all around for the Machine Tool program and Thaddeus Stevens College.
