Jeep Blitz - Steijager - Bushnell May 19 - 20 2017

Post by TSEJEEPERS »

Registration is now OPEN for Jeep Blitz 2017. Plan now to attend May 19-21, 2017 for the next Blitz in Bushnell, Illinois. Our festival is a great place to see Jeeps, meet other Jeepers, take guided trail rides and obstacle courses, find Jeep clubs based in your area, find shops that specialize in accessorizing and maintaining Jeeps, shop for cool accessories for your Jeeps, and to see how some of those accessories are manufactured. All of our events are FAMILY and PET friendly.


Register HERE: http://www.jeepblitz.com


Here's what we're planning so far:


Thu May 18, 2017


• Evening: kick off party and night trail ride for early arrivals


Fri May 19, 2017


• Factory Tours
• Trail Rides
• Show and Shine
• Beer Garden and Band


Sat May 20, 2017


• Vendor Area Open
• Obstacle Course on Steinjäger Test Track
• Trail Rides
• After Hours Party


Sun May 21, 2017


• Trail Rides and Road Cruise
• Country Church


If you were able to join us last year, this year you'll notice improvements to the obstacle course, as well as expanded trail ride options to different locations. We're also going to offer more factory tours and make it more clear as to start times for the factory tours.


MAILINGS: We'll be sending our email and mail to the Jeep owners on our list. If you have anyone you'd like us to include in the mailers, please let me know.

We are signed up for the weekend, but my attendance may be affected by farming. Hopefully we will be past the ugly busy part of the season or get just the right amount of rain. At any rate we signed up for the stock trails and we hope to avoid getting stuck.

We've got our hotel Thursday Friday and Saturday nights, so we plan on being at the festivities to open the Blitz on Thursday night, too. And for obvious reasons we're doing the stock trails. Lol

Friday: Factory tour at 8am and Entry level/stock trail ride at 11:30 am

Saturday: Entry level/stock trail ride at 10am

Sunday: 11:30 Country Cruise
