The Great Willys Picnic, Show and Swap Meet
Sunday, June 12, 2016 from 9 am - 4 pm at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad located in Kempton, Pennsylvania
It's time to plan for the 17th annual Great Willys Picnic, Car Show and Swap Meet. All vehicles are welcome: stock, modified, projects, CJs, Wagons, Trucks, Jeepsters, Military, Cars and even GPWs! Every pre-1970 Willys vehicle is eligible to win door prizes. This show has grown into the largest Northeast Willys event. Over 67 vehicles and hundreds of enthusiasts were present at last year's picnic. There is plenty of space for selling your spare parts in the swap meet area.
Bring your Willys memorabilia and interesting parts for show and tell. Be sure to arrive early because at 3:00 PM the door prize winners are announced and awarded. Bring your own picnic lunch or purchase food at the refreshment stand.
The Picnic will be held on the grounds of the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad http://www.kemptontrain.com located in the scenic village of Kempton, Pennsylvania. This is a great setting to display our classic Willys vehicles, as well as entertainment for the entire family. Also on-site is the
Schuykill & Lehigh Model Railroad Club's HO model train display.
As always the Willys Picnic, Show and Swap is free. Plan to take the optional train ride for a very reasonable fee. Click here for directions to the RR http://www.kemptontrain.com/directions/

There is snow on the ground, but June is just around the corner. Dust off those old Jeeps!!!

This year's show will be a big one!!!

Loaded up and headed out! Rausch Creek tomorrow and The Great Willys Picnic on Sunday! Managed to fit about half of what I wanted to bring but I'll be happy if I don't inadvertently jettison any of it on the highway.
Weather looks good with a few minor exceptions. Anyone know if entry-level Wal-Mart tents are generally tornado rated?

Safe travels!

Jealous... Drive careful, if you get the urge to stop in RI look me up! I'm sure I could use some pointers!
