Clinics to provide tips to Jeep lovers

The crowd watches as Rob Ekas of Diehl Automotive begins a demonstration of dent repair by first denting a new vehicle at last year's Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival. Clinics are on the agenda again Saturday and Sunday at this year's festival at the Big Butler Fairgrounds.
