I met a number of great people that I will never forget.
Everyone was sharing their experience, knowledge, literature, and parts.

Thanks for posting that video Don! I'll add that to the website too.

Pictures are posted to the Willys Reunion Website.

If anyone got good pics of the second Jeepster, the Bright Blue CJ-5, Gray &  Black CJ with Fins, RatRod or any others I missed contact me. I had a camera malfunction Saturday afternoon and none of my pics saved to the SD Card.

Thanks so much Don for sharing your video.
It made not being there a little less painful.
Glad you guys had good weather and a good time as well!

Here’s my perspective from Thursday-Sunday. We had such a great weekend wheeling, eating and visiting with old and new friends. Can’t wait for next time! (Sorry for the verticals video. I was filming for Instagram but wanted to share with you guys regardless)

Another great event!  Thanks to Bob and crew for all the hard work - it paid off for sure.

And thanks to the folks who purchased my "box motor."  Hope to see it running some day.

Had a great time at reunion this past weekend. Picked some great parts for my Willys truck project. Bob,Mindy,and the rest of the crew I want to thank y’all for hosting a great event. 


PS…..I’m not going to name gentleman, but I was given to free bumpers for my truck! All he asked was I pay it forward someday.
Sir I will someday and thanks again for the bumpers!

I had a great time and met a lot of good people. I also received a great education on my 46 VEC that never made it off the trailer, but we still had a great time. The sushi at the restaurant that Saturday night was fantastic. With luck, I'll see you all next year and maybe the VEC is able to move around.

Was great to enjoy the sushi with you, and all the others at the table..   I hope that I didn't offend you with your education lesson :)

No sir, I enjoyed every second of it. I actually will thank you for going through it like you did. I wanted to know anything I could about it and man I got a lesson. Thanks again.

I just found a coffee can containing a new set of valves that should have gone with my "box motor."  I don't have any contact information for the guys who purchased it, but hoping they might spot this message.  Happy to send them to their new home.

And thanks for all the videos and pictures

Thanks everyone for coming to the show. Sorry this was delayed as I left for fishing in Canada right after.

I thought it was a great show. A few things didn’t happen because of the rain and cloudy skies.

Also I spoke to Harold west. His father is doing fine after getting hit by a little debris during the burst of wind.

I hope you all had a good time and got to meet up with old friends and make some new ones.

Thanks again and keep your eyes open for the 30th annual Willys Reunion.
