Jeep Fest 2022

Thanks to all who support our 2022 Jeep Fest that was held Saturday, August 6, 2022 at the Vermilion County Fairgrounds. We had a record turnout and nearly reached out goal of raising enough funds for Mission K9 Warrior to provide 1 service dog to a local verten in need. Special thanks to all the volunteers who stuck it out through a hot and humid day.

Thanks for a Great Jeep Fest 2021

Thank you to all of you who helped planning, prepping, working, recruiting, fundraising, organizing, participating, and the list goes on. We all had a blast with a fantastic Jeep Show & Shine, good food, kid friendly activities (duck race, bean bag toss, bounce house), obstacle courses, vendors, raffle prizes, and music. We had a great variety of Jeeps present, old traditional military Jeeps, Wranglers of all kinds, Gladiators, Cherokees, Patriots, and Renegades.

Middle Fork Jeeps Donates $10,000 to Mission K9 Warriors

Thanks go to all of you who donated, attended, participated and volunteered at our 2021 Jeep Fest. We had twice the number of jeeps, twice the number of attendees, and raised about twice the amount of money for Mission K9 Warrior as we did in 2020.
