Sounds interesting, I might hafta wonder over that way if thats not the same week I'm going to Grayling mich for an artillery match. I'm on the W side of Cbus

 

[Stretch44875]

I'll probably go. Drive right past there on the way to Columbus, about 45 min for me. Have to see what I could bring.

I might make this one. Depends on a few things, though.

Is this the old show that used to be at Medina, Ohio? Man, that was a good show, I miss that site a lot....

There will be military vehicles of all ages and types as well as diplays of Vintage Willys Jeeps and equipment!

Or...?

diplays of Vintage Willys Jeeps and equipment!

I'm not trying to be a cynic, but I don't want to drive all the way up there and be disappointed.

Not sure I understand what you are asking, but maybe this will help. The original intent of the show was to have a military show like Medina, in conjunction with an early flat fender willys rally as well since there is no on-going willys gathering in Ohio. However, since the Buckeye Military vehicle club is sponsoring the show, we are advertising it as a military show that will welcome the early civilian willys as well. Just a twist on words, but it was necessary.

This show is sponsored by the same club that put on the Medina show, But of course Wayne Hlavin was the main man behind that show as it was on his farm. We have his blessing with this show. We all wish Medina was still going on, but we are hoping this can be as enjoyable in the same tradition.

The show will be as good or bad as we, the participants make it. All the club can do is provide the venue and infrastructure. It is our first year, so I wish I could tell you what to expect, But I cannot. I can say many people are doing allot of work to make it as welcoming as possible. We have done our best to keep prices low for both the buyer and seller, and make it so that the average guy can sell things or attend without breaking the bank.

If I can answer any more questions or if you guys would like a space or wouldl like to bring a vehicle for display or sale, Drop me a note, or just come, we would love to have you. We have plenty of room!

[Stretch44875]

Now I have to go, since I own and like early willys jeeps and MV's

 

[gimpyrobb]

Brian, OIFvet was hoping you'd say "yes there will be more than just little jeeps here".

Bill, FordGP said "there will be deuces here when you show up"

That is all

 

[oifvet]

Where are the pics?!?!?!?!

How did this show go? Is it going to be on the calendar again for next year?

 

[Stretch44875]

I thought it was a decent, if small, show. about 30 dealers, and 20 trucks. Some good deals to be had, and a couple of interesting vehicles. I liked the old civilian jeeps that were there, just because I have one. A couple more MV's showed up that I didn't get pics of.
