Jeep Invasion and Kaiser Willys Classic Jeep Show at Aiken Music Fest

#1
Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 12th for the first ever Jeep Invasion and Kaiser Willys Classic Jeep Show hosted by Aiken Music Fest!

This year’s show will be a great way to show off your 1941-1971 Willys Jeep restoration or current project! First prize is a $500 Gift Certificate to Kaiser Willys, 2nd place is $250, and 3rd is $100. If you would like to register your vehicle for the show, a $35.00 entry fee will apply and includes (1) ticket for admission to the festival.

How to register your vehicle for the show:

1.) Click here to pre-register – the deadline to enter is July 10th, 2014.

2.) An Entry Fee of $35.00 is also required - you may pre-pay your fee online or at the gate on Saturday, July 12th, 2014.

Your entry fee includes one general admission ticket for the entire festival. Your vehicle does not have to be running or fully restored to enter and you will still be eligible for prizes!

**If you have a Jeep that is not eligible for the show, you can still participate in the Jeep Invasion at Aiken Music Fest. Gates will open for you early at 11:00 am (before the general public) so we can line the perimeter of the festival grounds with nothing but Jeeps of all years, shapes and sizes!

Yep, went for a while.

My son and I went for a little while. Not a huge showing of Jeeps, maybe 12-14 lined up around the outside and then the Kaiser-Willys folks had about 6-8 mostly old school CJ on their little display. It was a great place to have the event as there was plenty of room, but they were definitely lacking on a crowd. Not that many people there for even the music part.

2 food vendors, 1 beer trailer for $4/16 oz beer. Couple of bouncie houses with water in em for the kiddo's.

I will say, that I don't think they had a good mix of the right people, music and jeeps. We only stayed for about 2 hours. But, most of the music was R&B, beach or Jazz. Probably not a big draw for most jeep folks.




Did anyone go and take pictures? I was at URE. Had I known about this before I made plans for URE I would have gone.
