Renninger’s Mount Dora Hosts Steampunk Industrial Show Extravaganza

Renninger’s Mount Dora Flea Market and Antique Center in Florida is gearing up to host a unique event that combines history, fantasy, and creativity – the Steampunk Industrial Show. Steampunk, a genre that traces its roots back to adaptations of classic literary works by H.G. Wells and Jules Verne in the 1950s and ’60s, has evolved into a celebration of retro-futuristic technologies and Victorian elegance.
