Although the parking lots and trails at Cooper’s Lake Event Venue and Campground on Saturday, June 13, were filled with Jeeps, you did not need a Jeep to have fun at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival.
In the Duck Dash, about 1,300 rubber ducks raced down a tarp on a hill at Cooper’s Lake Campground. Participants purchased ducks for $5 each. The proceeds benefited area charities such as the Knights of Columbus Butler Council 866 and the Butler Outdoor Club.
The costume contest then gave way to the chaos of Barbee Jeep racing. The racing began with a photo finish in the first heat. During the later races, several competitors ended up in crazy crashes. One of the wildest crashes was one in which both competitors flipped at the finish line and collided with each other. Thankfully, no one was hurt in any of the crashes.
