We've listened to your requests to move back more to the Midwest, so mark your calendars for the Spring Willys Reunion to be held at a new location in Effingham, Illinois.
Announcing the 2016 Spring Willys Reunion May 20-21 at the Holiday Inn
The preliminary info is now on the website but won't have actual registration info until after the New Year.
If you call the hotel and ask for a reservation, they will tell you that the hotel is booked. As are a few others in the general area due to s sporting event.
You need to say you are with the Willys Reunion. The code is WJR. Again, the hotel is booked except for the reunion.
We have plenty of rooms blocked out. You have to make your reservation before April 19 or the reserved rooms will be released and you may not get a room.
We highly encourage those that can share a room to get with your friends to reserve a room together so we can get as many in the Holiday Inn as possible.
Keep check http://willysreunion.com/swr16.htm for more information after the New Year. Edited by willysreunion - 19 Dec. 2015 at 8:17pm |

Hi All,
The hotel is also full for Thursday except for the Willys Reunion. We have a block of 20 rooms for Thursday. If you are coming in Thursday, it would be good for us if you would make your reservation early. I doubt we will need 20 rooms for that night but if you will book early, it will give me a heads up as to whether or not I need to plan for an overflow. Again, room for everybody Friday and Satuday night so long as you book by April 19. Thanks! |

We also changed the name of the facebook page to reflect the removal of "midwest" from the name.
Here is the new link to the facebook page. Willys Reunion Facebook Page |

That is great news! I knew that by buying this poster and having it framed was a great idea! Now I have a VERY rare limited edition item that will command big money some day!
And more important it will be a shorter drive. Now fellas, we need to figure out how we are going to take down that rocket ride and get it home to be restored!

You should bring that with you and have Kevin certify its authenticity. That being said. I have the very first copy

I also have a very limited 1st edition , still rolled in its cardboard tube. That I possibly would trade for a Complete, rebuilt Monarch governor for a cj2a. There would also have to be $$ along with to justify my release of such a RARE Specimen. Sotheby's , you hearing this? Kev.

Reservation made this morning and no problems when mentioning the Willys Jeep Reunion. When I gave my name he even brought up my IHG Rewards information without me even mentioning it. Stayed at a lot of Holiday Inns this year.

Hi all
A quick update: looks like the turnout this year will be larger than previous years. The Holiday Inn is completely booked out for Friday night. The reunion has rooms blocked out at the Country Inn and Suites and the Kaiser/Frazer group has rooms blocked out at the Baymont Inn both of these hotels are right next to the lot where the jeeps will be so there is no disadvantage staying at one of these two hotels. Here is a video of the hotels. If you stop the video at 33 seconds, you can see where the Baymont (left), and the Country Inn (right), are located in relationship to the lot where the vehicles will be. When you make your reservation, let them know that you are with the Willys Jeep Reunion. Sharing rooms: Whether or not you have already made a reservation, If you are traveling alone and you are interested in sharing a room with someone to save cost, you can email me: jpet@willysreunion.com I will share the list of friends who don't have a reservation with the friends who already have a two bed reservation and they can make the connection. If anyone has a problem getting a room reservation, please email me asap and I will make sure you have a room. I wouldn't dally though. I'd make a reservation ... like today. At your service jpet _(O|||||||O)_ |
