Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival

Every year thousands of Jeep enthusiasts gather in Butler, PA for one of the biggest Jeep events in the world.  The annual event started in August of 2011 with an inaugural parade in which the world record was broken for world's longest Jeep parade with over 1,100 Jeeps parade from Butler Community College into downtown Butler, PA.  The event is a 3-day weekend long event that now takes place on Friday invading Butler's main street with Jeeps and on Saturday and Sunday at Coopers Lake in Slippery Rock, PA.  I have attended this event myself, and it is a lot of fun with on-site trail rides, vintage and modern Jeep displays, a ton of part vendors, food, and tons of activities.  I encourage anyone who might want to see this first hand to register his or her Jeep, or come attend as a spectator.  The web address for the event is http://www.bantamjeepfestival.com/.
