At last year’s ‘Eagle Fun Days’, which is held in Eagle, ID, where I used to live.  In 2011 one of the carnival rides had had old flat fender jeeps in it.  Here is a shot of one young man enjoying himself.  His grandfather has less pleasant things to say about the event, which you can read in this blog post.

There will be seven concept jeeps at this year’s Bantam Festival.

The President of the Tennessee Flat Fender Club William Dabney just dropped me an email saying the North Carolina Flat Fenders Club (NCFFC) has announced the 1st Annual NCFFC Southern Jeep Meet October 27th, 2012 at Freeborne’s Eatery and Lodge: 14300 Nc Highway 18 S, Laurel Springs, NC.  It’s great to see the growth of Jeep meets!

I had hope to get out there for this years festival, but my kids visit has shifted to August.  We’ll try for next year!

UPDATE:  Dan posted a whole bunch of photographs from the Willys America BBQ and the Caravan on July 7th at the oldwillysforum.  Sure looks like it was fun.  Here are three photos:
