Jeep Tour Goes to Milwaukee

The ninth stop of the Jeep Rocks & Road Tour takes place this weekend at the 2010 Wisconsin Harvest Fair, in West Allis, near Milwaukee, to do pretty much what it did to all the previous venues it attended throughout this summer: show off, Jeep style.

Those who missed the event at its previous stops have no reason for concern, as pretty much the same events which took place at venues like the Columbus Jazz and Rib Fest or Westfield International Air Show will be available for attendees here as well.

The Jeep show includes test drives, which will take place on both on- and off-road courses, including one containing several obstacles which simulate the Jeep testing procedures to be tackled by wannabe off-roaders.

The most complicated course features steep grades, rocky trails and log crossings, all created as a means for the public to understand the Trail Rated capabilities of Jeep vehicles for articulation, ground clearance, maneuverability and traction.

Being a family affair, the Harvest fair will see the Jeep brand offering activities for all members of the family. While the fathers, and perhaps even the mothers, are busy doing their thing in a real Jeep vehicle, kids can drive Jeep-branded “Power Wheels” mini vehicles or choose to climb a rock wall (without the mini vehicles, of course).

“We have created the ‘Jeep Rocks & Road Tour’ to provide our current and potential customers with an adventurous experience that is exclusive to the Jeep brand,” said Mike Manley, the CEO of the Jeep brand.
