Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival Teaching You a Thing or Two
The Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival is coming to Butler, PA this Friday the 13. Alongside spectacular events like trail runs and mud pits, the festival will be hosting how-to clinics all weekend.
The largest Jeep-centric event in the Eastern U.S., the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival will take place at Coopers Lake Campground – except for the famed Jeep Invasion in downtown Butler. This year’s festival will include many of the same exciting events from previous years, with a few additions such as a stock Jeep mud pit and the Bantam Jeep Muddy 5K. Another aspect of the festival returning this year are the invaluable How-To Clinics, featuring speakers such as 4WD Hardware, Warn Industries, Diehl Automotive Group, Simpson Family Jeep and more.
“It gives the customers a chance to speak with us one-on-one and ask questions which draw on the entire group’s knowledge base,” says Adam Pratt, the speaker for 4WD’s how-to clinics this year. Adam has been with 4WD for ten years and has been involved with Jeeps for his entire life.
Over the course of the three-day festival, eight different vendors and clubs will be speaking on a variety of topics. 4WD Hardware, also an event sponsor, will be holding discussions on choosing the right Jeep soft top, knowing the best tires and wheels and tips for selecting the best winch.

“I’m teaching from experience,” says Adam, “I’ve had tops and other Jeep parts and accessories before where I couldn’t stand the way they operated. 4WD’s clinics are a unique experience, because as a vendor we are able to gear our training to showing customers how to choose the right product for their needs.”
Warn industries, retailer of high end winches and supplies, will hold a how-to clinic on their new Zeon Winch. Simpsons Family Jeeps will be teaching the science to staying safe on the trail, among other topics.

“It’s a great way to meet people face to face and help share information,” says Neil Simpson, owner of Simpson Family Jeeps. “The approach that we’re taking is to try and present unique material in a fun and educational manner.”
