I was thinking of going down. Was going to let the wife shop in Grove City while I headed to the festival with the kids. Still planning the summer out and seeing if I can fit it in.

 

My wife and I and friends of ours are heading to Butler for this... we are staying in Grove City so the women can shop and Butler is like 25 mins away or something should be a good event. We are heading out early friday morning and coming back on the Monday.

 

You should write this thread on Quebec4x4

 

Were in Grove City are you staying Rebel? Looking more like we might go but haven't decided if we'll hotel it or bring the popup and camp instead. We went down last year and there are a bunch of cheap hotels near the mall.

 

Bump back up. We're staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Grove City. Rebel and Mojo, we should arrange to hookup while there.

 

Just 4 more days left…





Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival

There's no place better than Butler, Pa. to show your love for Jeep! That's because Butler is the birthplace of the Bantam Jeep, the world's first Jeep.

Butler's American Bantam Car Company developed, produced and delivered the Bantam model in 1940 in response to the U.S. Army's request for an all-purpose military vehicle. Nearly 3,000 Jeeps were produced at Bantam's Butler factory in 1940 and 1941.

The first annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival will take place August 12-14, 2011. Make plans to celebrate Jeep in the place where it all began. Butler, Pa...birthplace of the Jeep.

Visit www.bantamjeepfestival.com for more information and to register you Jeep for the festival.



All jeeps can register for the parade, more than 500 jeeps already have. We expect to officially break the record for most jeeps in a parade, will your jeep make history?

Jeeps of all types are coming from more than 20 states and Canada. Spectators are welcome! You don't need to own a jeep to attend the festival.

 

CampNL and Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in the same weekend....unlucky for me I've got too much going on this weekend and I can't make either :( Would be an interesting decision though

 

I hear ya, the decision was made a bit easier for me as by the time I knew I could do something that weekend, CampNL was already sold out.
