Hi all,
Here is an email I got from a fellow in southern Minnesota. If anyone here can help him, his contact info is listed. ---------------------------------- <MZierden@unitedprairiebank.com> wrote: Good afternoon gentlemen, I am hoping you may be able to help me. We are planning on having a WW2 theme for our company holiday party on January 30th. Do you know anyone in the southern Minnesota area who might be willing to let us rent a willys jeep for our event? We would like to have it available for pictures and such. We will be meeting Jackpot Junction casino in Morton Minnesota. I would appreciate any help you might be able to give us. Thank you.

This Event happened last Saturday. Two friends trailered their GPW's to the event, all equipped for combat, and with displays of uniforms and like items. Both Steve and Paul are re-enactors as well as there wife's who also attended in period correct clothing... The folks attending this event were amazed and thrilled with there display, all had an outstanding time.. Thanks Jpet for the heads up!
