28th Annual Spring Willys Reunion May 21-22, 2021 - Event Date: 21 May 2021 - 22 May 2021

Thanks everyone for coming to the show and making it what is was. I probably did not get a chance to talk and visit with all of you. Every time I tried to make my way down the parking lot I got stopped by someone! I ended up going through the hotel to get to the other end of the lot!
Thanks also for buying up bob g’s parts! The money will go to a good cause.

Gr8 time guys!

I’m not sure what the final count was but it had to be over 70. I counted 65 actual vintage Jeeps on the lot at one time. The weather was very nice. I wish it would always be like that so we could have the Saturday gathering outside all the time. Along with the ones who have already been mentioned, I’d like to thank Scott Gilbert for all the hard work he did, John the jeepsterman for paying for the dinner, and Barry S. for setting up Southington. The owner, Dave, attended the reunion and we now have a permanent wheeling spot for Thursday or perhaps Friday evening. Brenda received Bob Gallager’s posthumous Toledo Brick Award.

Again, thanks everyone. I’m still in Pennsylvania working but I was glad to get a couple weekends of wheeling in and to meet everyone again.

Here are a couple picks from Southington and one from Wolf’s Den Run in Maryland:

Those ducks sure get around! Oddly enough, 650miles south of your location I got 'ducked' as well! (although the white one seems to be something of an, uh, odd duck)

A Fantastic Event ! Thanks ! Weather was Very Good. People were Excellent! 

We did have a great turn out, about 71 Willys showed up to the Spring Reunion. I loaded the pictures to the website yesterday and have a few more to review including the off-road outing on Thursday. Visit willysreunion.com and click the Spring Photos link. I also ask you to place September 10-11 on your schedules and join us for the Fall Willys Reunion in Fulton, MO (info also on the webpage). I personally scored two more 1945 Bantam Trailers.

What a GREAT event. It was our first time. Met lots of friendly folks. So many nice Jeeps. It was great to put faces and names with Jeeps I've read about and watched videos of. That was really cool. Hope to make it an annual trip and go on the trail ride next time. Old Ruby enjoyed it too!!

Here ya go.....

What I see is a way for the 'little ones' to be involved....like you said its sort of a 'feel good' thing.
