(10:00 am � 3:00 pm)

Historic Union Mills Homestead
[/size]

(North of Westminster, MD 21158)

Bring your vintage Willys Jeep to historic Union Mills Homestead for this special gathering! Civilian and Military Willys Jeep vehicles are welcome and encouraged to attend! (MB, GPW, CJ2A, 3A, 3B, M38, Forward Control, Willys Wagons, Jeepsters, Willys Pick-ups, etc.)

5 Trophies to be awarded, including Best Work in Progress!

Where: Historic Union Mills Homestead 3311 Littlestown Pike (MD route 97 north) Westminster, MD 21158. (7 miles north of the City of Westminster, MD and 17 miles south of Gettysburg, PA.)

General Information: This free, annual event is for Willys Jeep owners, Jeep enthusiasts, and the general public to share information and view a rapidly disappearing piece of American automotive history! Union Mills Homestead is a beautiful park setting rich in Civil War History, so be sure to take the tour! Pit Beef and refreshments will be available!

Gettysburg Battlefield Run: For those interested in making this a weekend event, we will hold a Gettysburg Battlefield run (paved surfaces) on Saturday October 22nd (Day before the Show), weather permitting. We will meet at 12:00 noon at the Gettysburg Outlets (US 15 and PA 97) by the theater complex. On the evening of the 22nd, we will meet at Gary & Dell�s Crab House near Union Mills to eat, drink beer, and otherwise tell lies about our Jeeps!

Registration & Questions: For more information or to register your vehicle, send me an e-mail or PM. Include the type of Willys vehicle you will be bringing. If you need a place to stay, we can recommend several Motels and Hotels.

Just confirmed: I have a licensed Gettysburg Battlefield guide lined up for the Battlefield run on Saturday the 22nd (day before Gathering). The guided tour should take about 3 hours with stops at significant points & monuments.

[size=16]Here is the front of the "Gathering" T-Shirt![/size][/color]



If you want to pre-order shirts, send me an e-mail ASAP with adult sizes and quantity. I will hold your shirts for you at the registration table. Price is not final yet, but I am trying to keep them at $20 each. (Yes, the entire shirt is red!)

Please e-mail me or send a PM to register your Willys. It's free!

Are any of my CJ3A Brethren planning to attend?

A lot of folks have asked to turn this into a 2 day event, and I have. Now, there is no excuse not to make the trip! �;)

The "Gathering" (show) will be on Sunday the 23rd, and the Gettysburg Battlefield guided tour will be on the afternoon of the 22nd with Crabs and Beer to follow! What better way to get ready for the show?! :)

The weather report for this weekend looks great!

The pit beef guy is confirmed and may have soup too, if it's chilly out.

My friends at Quadratec just sent me a box full of Jeep related door prizes!

Know Where 2 Jeep will be there selling parts for your new and vintage Jeeps!

Adams Jeep & Extreme Off-Road will be there with new Jeeps including a JK8!

Come on and get your Willys out! �;)

Here are a few photos I resized from the Gettysburg Battlefield tour on Oct. 22, 2011. This is the 2nd year in a row that we have done the Gettysburg run, the day before the Mason Dixon Willys Jeep Gathering.




If you want to make the 6th Annual "Gathering" a 2 day trip, join us on the Gettysburg run... you will be glad you did!
