Trail Cleanup and Prep Day for Bantam Festival
Received this in email today from festival coordinators. If anyone is local and can help out this weekend, more volunteers are needed.
Trail Day Scheduled for Saturday, April 18
We are still in need of a few more hands to help us on Saturday. This will be the last call. Don't miss a great day outside working on the trails! If you have already registered for this Saturday, we truly appreciate your support!
Trail Day is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. We plan to meet at the Pavilion where the food vendors are located during the event. A delicious hot lunch will be provided.
The deadline to register for Trail Day is Thursday, April 16 at noon.
In order for us to provide an appropriate amount of food for lunch, we ask that you please email Nicole@visitbutlercounty.com. Please also provide her with emergency contact information so we have it on file.
For more information, call 724-234-2291 or email info@bantamjeepfestival.com.
About the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival
The Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival is organized by the Butler County Tourism & Convention Bureau with support from the Butler County Historical Society, Butler Downtown, other local organizations and a group of committed volunteers and Jeep enthusiasts. Together, they are creating a signature annual event celebrating Butler, Pa.'s role as the birthplace of the jeep. The Festival takes place in Downtown Butler and at Coopers Lake Campground, near Slippery Rock, Pa.
The inaugural event in 2011 attracted more than 1,300 Jeep participants from 25 states. Festival activities were attended by more than 30,000 spectators. The Festival was awarded a Guinness World Record for the Longest Parade of Jeeps. In 2012, nearly 1,500 Jeeps from 25 states participated in the event, a 14% increase from the previous year. In 2013, the Festival grew to three full days and was held on a new date at a new location, offering more trails and room for expansion. More than 1,500 Jeeps from 29 states came to Butler to celebrate the father of all Jeeps over Father's Day weekend.
