At a recent meeting of the SteamFest organizing committee the current COVID-19 situation was discussed at length. The committee arrived at the very difficult conclusion to cancel SteamFest for this year to not add to the spread of the pandemic and to protect the many members and volunteers who run the event from potential exposure. Additionally, the risk of having key members of the organizing or exhibitor team needing to isolate due to the spread of the disease could compromise the event.  SteamFest_Cancellation_2022.pdf
