Calling All Rodders
Today's adventure took us to Butler, PA. Friends of ours own a 1959 Jeep Willys at 10 am this morning we left with them to go to Butler PA. There we found 1200 Jeeps of every Year, Make and Model making their way to the Butler Community College.
Why? You may ask...
Because the was a jeep parade going on there trying to become a Guinness World Records Longest Jeep Parade at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival!
Once there we were lined up according to decades, and registration began...at 1pm.
We unloaded the trailer dropped off the Jeep then ran our trailer to the other side of town and took a shuttle back up to the College to be part of the 6pm Parade. This process was slow and took most of the afternoon but we laughed and had fun along the way the town was filled with jeeps everywhere!
Promptly at 10 to 6 we lined up and began the 3 mile parade route thru down town Butler. Once we reach the downtown area we all were parked along the streets were 100's of spectators lined the streets to see the parade and enjoy the Jeep show.
1200 Jeeps registered for the show, they figure the had at least 1500 Jeeps come thru town I believe the event was a success. It was awesome to see that many Jeeps in on place the were from 1938 to 2012.
We had a great time and want to thank our friends Pat & Beth for inviting us along!

Live in Butler and I will admit I was extremely pleased with the turnout of jeeps from all over the world. I would like to extend my thanks to all who participated, as well as the Butler County Commisioners for putting on such a great family event. Hazza to all.
