The 2016 Toledo Jeep Fest

On August 13, 2016 the Toledo Jeep Fest will be one for the books. Featured events include: Indoor and Outdoor Car Shows Surprisingly enough, this is the first ever Jeep fest held in the city that birthed the original CJ Jeep, which currently produces the JK Wrangler and Cherokee. This party is going to be a doozy. Starting off with a parade, the event will acknowledge all workers--past and present-- who contributed to the the success of the plant, the company, and the city. Without Jeep, Toledo may not have thrived at the level or status it currently maintains. Good, working class people should be proud of their own contributions to the local economy and the American made vehicles.
