WWII Weekend in St.Louis, April 25-27 2008

[54reo]

Are any SteelSoldiers members planning on attending? The family and I went last year, and had a blast! Just thought it would be a chance for some of us "midwesterners" to meet.

I plan on driving the deuce there on Saturday.

These are the guys that sponsor the show....

Getting close to this event, so I thought I would bump it.

As I have been on the road for work, I will not be driving the deuce but I will be there on Saturday. This is a great event for the family.

Finally getting around to posting pics of the event.

Met "Stan" from SS there by coincidence. Great guy with a really nice M35A2!

It was nice to finally meet you Stan. (p.s. thanks for delivering the tool box)


A reenacting event with several mock battles, living camp with Americans, Germans, Russians, Italians,...

That was the first time I ever witnessed a "schwimmwagen" in person. It was quite an interesting vehicle to say the least.

Almost certain that it will be held again in '09, it has been happening for 20+ years, but he web site for it is still showing the '08 dates.

You own a Bradly?

Pics man!!

WWII Weekend | 2nd Rangers Infantry Battalion - D - St. Louis, Missouri

It's that time of year again here in the midwest!

I for one am planning to bring the Deuce and perhaps the M816.

Anyone else??

 

[Stan]

AARRRR I was planning on going Saturday the 25 (bigger crowd I think) but I just checked my schedule and I work.

What are your plans Reo?

For anyone who has never been it's pretty neat. Lots of stuff to see.

 

[Stan]

The dates for this year 2009 are April 24,25,26.

This thread was started in 2008.

 

[54reo]

I am planning on being there on Saturday.

Will you be there on Sunday Stan?

 

[Tascabe]

I think I will be there on Saturday - not sure if I will drive an green steel or not yet.

 

[54reo]

Tascabe, it would be a great chance to show off some new green iron!

 

[54reo]

So it seems as though 4 of us will be there on Saturday.

Will there be any more??

 

[Tascabe]

I am planning to drive the UniMog there on Saturday.

I understand there is an area that the non-WW2 MVs gather - is that correct?

 

[mooresM35A2]

yeah i plan on being there

That is correct. It is at the front of the whole thing, directly across from where everyone parks.

If I can muster up the stones to tell the wife about the deuce, I'll have mine there. I'll put a big 'SS' poster on top of the cab.
