People in costume are clanging swords, eating fire and battling with Nerf guns during this 3-day event. Event organizer Adam Boster said, “It’s a Steampunk Pirate Festival. Steampunk is kind of a Victorian version of science fiction. Imagine Jules Verne or Doc Brown from Back to the Future when he shows up in the steam-powered time machine locomotive. That’s kind of a clearer, big definition of what Steampunk is. You can take it in a lot of directions. As you see here at the festival, there are a lot of different types of people in Steampunk that you’ll see. That’s kind of cool. It’s a whole new variety. It’s a whole new subculture.” Read Full Article at ConnectMidMissouri.com...
