The friends of the Bantam Jeep Association recently elected a new board of directors including Todd Wagner, president; Tony Colangeli, vice president; Ellen Roberts, secretary; Wayne Kovac, treasurer; and Tom Lavorini, Bill Ringeisen and Rodney Schaffer, members at large.

In the past two years, more than 50 volunteers of the association planned and executed two Bantam Jeep Heritage Festivals which attracted more than 2,400 Jeeps to Butler County.

The association also supported 19 different Butler County nonprofit organizations in 2016.
