The Great Willys Picnic, Show and Swap Meet

June 8, 2014 from 9 am - 4 pm at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad
located in Kempton, Pennsylvania

It's time to plan for the 15th 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 door prizes. This show has grown into
the largest Northeast Willys event. Over 68 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 door prize winners are announced and awarded. Bring your own picnic
lunch or purchase food at the refreshment stand.

The Picnic will be held on the grounds of the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad http://www.kemptontrain.com
located in the scenic village of Kempton, Pennsylvania. This is a great setting to display our
classic Willys vehicles, as well as entertainment for the entire family. Also on-site is the
Schuykill & Lehigh Model Railroad Club's HO model train display.


As always the Willys Picnic, Show and Swap is free. Plan to take the optional train ride for a
very reasonable fee. Click here for directions to the RR http://www.kemptontrain.com/directions/.

It seems every year I loose battle with my aviation customers for my time in the spring rollouts of their airplanes that were bedded down for the winter up here. Yet every spring I put the date in my calendar. We will see. That event is very close to where I was born & raised. Camden NJ and Williamstown NJ.
