Jeep Beach Sets New Jeep Record

Posted on April 27, 2015 by baysideadmin

Not content to let Ram have all the glory, Jeep also wanted to break a record. A little while ago, Ram put out the word for Ram truck drivers to sign up and amass on the Academy of Country Music Awards to break the Guinness World Record for ‘Largest Parade of Pickup Trucks.’ With 451 total trucks, it was a mission success.

Cut to the 12^th annual Jeep Beach event. The event is a major Jeep get-together for fun events and charity down in Florida. To mark this year, they wanted to take a crack at breaking a record. Said record was 1,106 Jeeps at the 2011 Bantam Jeep Festival. The Jeep Beach managed to do it, smashing that previous record with their own 1,846 Jeeps!

What was the most popular of the Jeeps? According to one of the volunteers, it was the Wrangler. “Wranglers dominated but we definitely had representation from nearly every Jeep ever made.”

Will the Bantam Jeep Festival take this hit to their record lying down? It’s all fun and games and I hope to see them fire back. If it keeps happening, one day we’ll have to stretch Jeeps across the whole of the US. It could happen.

Jeep Drives to Florida for a Jeep Party!

Posted on May 2, 2013 by baysideadmin

Even Jeep deserves a vacation.

Five whole days were dedicated to all things Jeep over the weekend thanks to the Mid-Florida Jeep Club. They pulled all their rides together to party with Jeep owners from all over. Saturday was the big day with everyone heading to the Daytona International Speedway to compete in a “show-n-shine” competition. It wasn’t all about looks though, it was also about showing off the capabilities that make the Jeep so infamous. That’s why the beauty pageant potion of the contest was only the half of it. Next up was the obstacle course.

This year was a big one for the event. It marked their 10^th anniversary. It’s very popular with Jeep drivers who come not just from nearby Florida, but even as far away as Alaska!

Joe Hogan, a first time attendee, was drawn in not just by his appreciation of Jeep, but also as a thing to do with his family. “I think it’s a family oriented vehicle,” he said. “You can come out and have fun with your family and your friends.”

The event also isn’t just about showing enthusiasts cool Jeeps, it’s also about giving back. The event raised money for the Volusia/Flagler Boys and Girls Club and the Blue Ribbon Coalition, a nonprofit group that promotes access to public lands. In the previous year, the event raised 30,000 for the charities.

After the Jeeps were put through their paces and marveled over, the event ended at the Shores Resort. The attendees then got to enjoy their final day of the event with a pool party and luncheon.

I Support Foundation Awards Jeep Wrangler to Lucky Customer

Posted on August 31, 2012 by baysideadmin

Two teenagers from Florida have decided to come together to aide our armed forces. They have started the I Support Foundation and it was created to raise funds for our troops. They are doing this by selling I Support wristbands and magnets. They give away 98% of the proceeds to give help to the US soldiers coming home from over-seas. The grand prize in this endeavor however, may get people to really start donating.

Redorbit.com is showing that they will be giving one lucky customer a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. The person who gets the car will receive it on live TV in New York City on October 12, 2012. In the next 60 days, people around the country have the chance to win, all you have to do is be one of the first 12,000 visitors to purchase an ISF wristband.

There’s still going to be prizes after the Jeep is given away. There will be a new tally started afterwards that whenever someone purchases a wristband, they will be entered into the drawing. Every 12,500 products are sold, that’s when another prize will be awarded. Make sure to head over to their website for more information and to get a chance to win yourself a Jeep Wrangler for showing support to those fighting for our country.
