NSS 2021 - Update!
- Written by Scott McDonald
As you all remember, the National Summer Steamup 2020 was cancelled due to the Covid19 outbreak.
Currently, the virus situation appears to be improving as the vaccines get distributed. So, the steamup
planning group has decided to go ahead with the steamup in 2021 at our new home in Lodi California.
The dates, however, have shifted to September 29 to October 3, 2021. We feel confident the Covid19
situation will continue to improve and we can have another great steamup. We are looking forward to
seeing you all again. Please visit our website (http://www.steam-events.org/) for regular updates.
Print/Digital Combo is Back!
