No Jeep? No problem at this festival

Ride with a Guide is being offered each day during the fourth annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival. For those attendees without a Jeep, the Ride with a Guide gives them first-hand experience of what it's like to take a Jeep off-road.

Visitors to this year’s Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival who do not own a Jeep still will have a chance to experience some Jeep fun.

The Ride with a Guide activity puts attendees in the driver’s seat of a new Jeep so they can have a first-hand experience of what it’s like to take a Jeep off-road.

The ride features a special beginner trail dedicated to this activity. Drivers also will be able to drive the Jeep over a rock portion of the Jeep Playground, which is an experience offered only to registered participants.

“You don’t have to be a Jeep owner to enjoy the festival,” said Patti Jo Lambert, festival director. “Ride with a Guide will allow everyone to be part of the action, thanks to our Jeep dealers who are cooperating to offer this opportunity.”

This is sponsored by the Diehl Automotive Group; Ron Lewis Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Cranberry; and Monroeville Chrysler Jeep.

Ride with a Guide will be offered each day.
