The Great Willys Picnic, Show and Swap Meet
June 8, 2014 from 9 am - 4 pm at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad located in Kempton, Pennsylvania It's time to plan for the 15th 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 68 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/.

Just curious, at these events do most of the willys get towed? Or are they attended by people from the immediate area?
This event sounds great and im planning on attending. However, I will be trailing my cj3a there:-) |

Rob,

this will be my 3rd event..i made the past 2, lugging around 3 toddlers, trying to keep their mitts off everyones willys..Just curious, but, would anyone be willing to let me drive their 2A for 10, 15 minutes, to get a handle on what they should sound like; in exchange for case of Yuengling lager? my 48 just sounds sluggish, flat spots on acceleration,no gear windup during shifting, you know the symptoms...i am chipping away at the causes (from this great forum), but sure would ilke a benchmark on what it should sound / feel like..
thx Al

You can drive my 3a. That's what I'm bringing down to the picnic.
I don't know if it will help you or not though. I have a 134f head in it and im running 35" tires. But it runs and shifts the way its supposed to. Rob |

I hope to make it this year. If so, I will likely be looking for truck parts.
