Title: 2015 Spring "Willys Reunion" May 15-17
Post by: 48cj2a on January 07, 2015, 10:50:26 PM: Announcing the 23rd Annual Spring Willys Reunion to be held May 15, 16,17 2015 at the Clarion Inn and Conference Center in Hudson, Ohio.

This yearï¿½s Willys Reunion promises to be a HISTORIC EVENT, with the gathering of AgriJeeps (the first post-war CJ-2 Jeeps), all in one place for the first time since their official introduction at Cesor Farm on July 18, 1945.

The show will feature technical and non-technical presentations, parts vendors selling new, take off and new old stock parts, Willys folklore, and over 100 Willys and Jeep classics from vintage WWII to the mid-ï¿½80s or newer.

Special guest speaker at the Saturday night banquet is Bill Norris of the Norris-Banonis Group publishers. Bill has been researching the introductionï¿½ at Cesor Farms and has interviewed people who were there at the time.

But...say it isn't so. I've scanned through as many photos of this event as I can find. I was shocked to see more CJ-2 Agrijeeps (4) than CJ-3As (1). What's up with that? :o

I transported an AgriJeep to the show instead of a CJ-3A.

I did read that. You had to have been in heaven being around all those "Xs".

I'm just beginning to think the folks out east don't do 3As...present company excluded. I scan these events and just don't see a lot of them. I can't remeber which other show I was looking through, but I saw very few 3As. I don't think it was the Kempton event, but it was one of those other gatherings out that way.
