The Great American Jeep Rally – 2005
and
proudly present the
5th Annual Great American Jeep Rally on Sunday,
September 25, 2005 from 9 AM to 4 PM in a
NEW LOCATION at the
Four Town Fairgrounds located in Somers, CT – approximately 8 miles
south of the Massachusetts border.
Jeep enthusiasts have been traveling from all over the northeast to show their
appreciation for Jeeps of all kinds – military, antique, new and old, stock to
heavily modified. We offer hourly raffles, trophy awards for street, beater,
military, antique, best in show, and off-road. In addition, attendees may test
their Jeep’s articulation on one of the RTI Ramps, test their balance on the
teeter-totter, and play in the Rally Rock Garden just to name a few of the
events the entire family will enjoy throughout the day. Food vendors, vendors
selling Jeep ware, local organized wheeling club booths, and a Tread Lightly!
informational booth will also be readily available.
The mission of the Rally is to raise money for charity and continue its efforts
in supporting the Northeast Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs (“NEA4WDC”). In
addition to the NEA4WDC, Rally proceeds are going to support the Leary
Firefighters Foundation.
Founded in 2000 by actor Denis
Leary, The Leary Firefighters Foundation is dedicated to providing the Fire
Departments of Boston, Worcester and New York City with funding and resources to
acquire the tools and training necessary to maintain the highest level of public
safety as well as to provide resources to the families of firefighters who have
perished or been injured in the line of duty.

mission is to protect and promote environmentally responsible Off-Highway
Vehicle recreation, while maintaining a harmonious relationship between OHV
enthusiasts and landowners. To support and educate Local, State and National
agencies in the preservation of OHV recreation.

The newest 2005 and 2006 Jeeps will be displayed for your viewing enjoyment.
Learn about Jeeps and talk with their owners. Check out the latest in
aftermarket gear. See what works for these Jeepers and take those ideas home
with you!
The members of Baystate Jeepers, Northeast Jeep Organization and the other
member clubs in the NEA4WDC have been enjoying Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation on
permission granted land over the last several years. These clubs and others like
them have removed tons of illegally dumped garbage from our natural areas. Our
members practice the principles of Tread Lightly!®, respect private property and
always leave with more than we go in with.

Four Town Fairgrounds, located in Somers,
CT from 9AM to 4 PM. For more information, please e-mail:
