We're looking for some new friends!
Don't miss the chance to add to your Jeep collection by purchasing a limited edition Friends of the Festival print. Last year, Butler artist Tom Panei created the inaugural "Friends" print. The vibrant 2012 print is by artist George Gaadt, featuring the 1940 Bantam Reconnaissance Car (the original jeep) along the Butler skyline. Only 300 hand-signed and numbered 16" x 20" prints are available, each embossed with the Festival logo. The prints are $100 each (plus $4 shipping and handling) and include a certificate of authenticity. Proceeds will support not only the Festival, but also Associated Artists of Butler County and the Butler County Historical Society. Learn more about the prints here. Become a friend today by purchasing your print via our online store!
T-Shirts, Pig Out Tickets and More Now Available to Everyone
For those of you who haven't registered a Jeep but want a 2012 t-shirt before the Festival, you're in luck! Our online store is now open and selling 2012 Jeep Invasion and Festival T-shirts, Great Pig Out tickets (for those who want to enjoy our pig roast on Saturday night, Aug. 11), Friends of the Festival prints and 2011 DVDs. Previously, these items were only available via Jeep registration, but now they're open to all Jeep lovers! Order yours today!
Get your taste buds ready!
Fill up your tank at the Festival! We've expanded our food offerings this year, and you will love all of the goodies that will be served up by a variety of vendors! Some entrée options include BBQ, Greek, Seafood, several varieties of chicken, pulled pork, sausage, hamburgers, hot dogs/corn dogs, and cheesesteak. Of course you'll need something to eat with your meat! Try a baked potato, chili, deep fried veggies, French fries, haluski, homemade potato chips or pierogies. There will also be lots of carnival favorites, beverages and best of all - breakfast! Since the Festival opens early in the morning, you just might need coffee and a little something to get your engine running! Don't just get your Jeep ready for the Festival -- prepare your taste buds, too!
Time is running out! Jeep Registration Makes Great Father's Day Gift!
July 22nd (our online registration deadline) will be here before you know it! If you haven't registered your Jeep yet, do so before it's too late! Remember, there are maximum Jeep capacities on each of the events and some are very close to filling up. Jeep registration makes a great Father's Day gift too! As the saying goes, "The early bird gets the worm!"
Sponsors Cruising In
Travel back to WWII with our Encampment sponsored by Highmark. First Frontier Mechanized Cavalry will recreate a military camp featuring more than 20 original 1940s Jeeps, complete with military uniforms, tents and more. You'll gain a new appreciation of your Jeep's roots.
If you like fun, registered Jeepers should be sure to sign up for Fun Stuff, sponsored by Northwest Savings Bank. Butler Outdoor Club is leading a variety of great outdoor activities at Moraine State Park during the Festival. All activities are free, except the pontoon cruise and biking, and free shuttle transportation is provided. Read more here.
Be sure to bring your little Jeeper to the Festival! Our Little Jeepers Playground, sponsored by Sleep Dentistry Associates, offers kids' crafts, games, a scavenger hunt and tons of fun! Best part is, it's free with spectator admission.
Sponsored by Diehl Automotive Group, Adventure Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ron Lewis Automotive Group and Rausch Creek Off-Road Park, the on-site trails are being prepped for August. Don't miss your chance to take a short drive through the woods at the Fairgrounds. Whether you have a stock Jeep or a modified Jeep, the trails are appropriate for you. They're especially perfect for beginners who want to experience a taste of what it's like to drive off-road!
Need to learn some new tricks for your Jeep? A full schedule of How-To clinics will be happening Saturday and Sunday. A variety of topics are being arranged and the schedule will be available soon. Sponsored by Elliot's Tire Service, Inc.
Festival Vendors Keep on Coming
