Cool footage . . gives a good feel of the show.
 
Amazing how steady HawkEye's video is  . . considering how breezy it was at the time.

Spot on...that's a predator brand v-twin mower engine from Harbor freight...turbo'd. And if THAT didn't make you go "huh", the one parked next to it was two singles running in tandem Shocked

Looks like a V-twin from a mower! I also see something in the corner that looks like a turbocharger.

The 20th Annual Willys Picnic was a huge success. The weather was perfect, so the Jeeps came out! There were 84 vintage Jeeps registered and a few more that that somehow missed the sign in. Every year more and more later Jeeps come out to the show and line up in the adjacent field. Overall there had to be over a hundred Jeeps here. And then there was the swap meet area. I've never seen so many vintage Willys parts for sale in one place!

Thanks to Seth and the Windyhill crew for putting on an incredible show. It couldn't be done without them. I hope everyone had a chance to ride the train, visit the gift shop and eat at the food stand. The Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad is by far the best venue we have ever had for the Willys Picnic and they appreciate the support.

We gave away a ton of door prizes and raffles. Please support and thank the sponsors. Quadratec, Walcks 4WD, JB Stoltzfus, East Coast Willys and Larry "rocketeer" Long.

What a fantastic weekend!  The mostly official total was 84! Thanks everyone for coming out and making it the best Picnic ever!

Saturday night was a blast as well! Lots of fun visiting old friends and getting to know new ones in the shop, Strawberry rhubarb pie, and ice cream run....We even got a CJ3A running again that has had sat for 4 years and it drove to the show under it's own power!  

And I managed to get my hay in as well before it rained Sunday night!Wink

Thanks to all who contributed!!Clap

On an ice cream run the evening before the picnic.    








We had a little fuel issue on the way back.



Never leave home without a tow strap.

I am sure there will be some much better ones coming,  but here are a couple I snapped.
