The Half Century of Progress Show happened this past weekend in Rantoul, IL. The show takes place every other year. Bob Christy reports there were 13 jeeps or so this year and two empire tractors.
Bob took the photo below. Here’s link to the CJ-2A Page with more photos
Kate Goelzhauser, editor for Lawn and Garden Collector Magazine, was also there. She posted a variety of pictures to her Facebook Page. You can see them all here.
Kate was a sweetheart. She was hanging around the tent when it was parade time, so she rode in the backseat of mine for the parade. She’s been looking for a jeep to buy.
Looks like Lonnie made the trip with a couple of his Jeeps. They are awesome working machines!!!
A couple? I think he brought 6!
Dang! I wish i had known there was a show in Rantoul. Im only in Kankakee. I will have to bring my two Willys Jeeps next time!!
