Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2010 7:40 pm
The Great Willys Picnic, Car Show and Swap Meet
June 13, 2010 from 10 am - 3 pm at the No. 9 Coal Mine & Museum, 9 Dock Street, Lansford, PA
It's time to plan for the 11th annual Great Willys Picnic, Car Show and Swap Meet. All vehicles are welcome: stock, modified, projects, CJs, Wagons, Trucks, Jeepsters, Military, Cars and even GPWs! Every pre-1970 Willys vehicle is eligible to win contests and door prizes. This show has grown into the largest Northeast Willys event. Fifty vehicles and hundreds of enthusiasts were present at last year's picnic. There is plenty of space for selling your spare parts in the swap meet area. Bring your Willys memorabilia and interesting parts for show and tell. Be sure to arrive early because at 3:00 PM the contest winners are announced and the prizes awarded. Bring your own picnic lunch or support the local Lansford Fire Department who will be selling hot dogs and hamburgers.
The Picnic will be held on the grounds of the historic No. 9 Mine & Museum, located at 9 Dock Street, Lansford, Pennsylvania. This is a great setting to display our classic Willys vehicles, as well as entertainment for the entire family. Closed in 1972, the mine was re-opened as a heritage tourism attraction in 2002. Visitors can take a train ride into the mine to see and experience first hand what it was like for old time miners to work underground. There is also plenty to look at in the museum.
As always the Willys Picnic, Show and Swap is free. The optional Mine Tour & Museum admission is just $7.00 per person or $3.00 for Museum only.
