This event gets bigger and better every year!
Over 100 Jeeps on the lot, and there was LOTS of diversity.
I only got a chance to walk around a couple times, so i didn't get as many pics as I would have liked.
I also tried a fisheye lens for the camera on my S5. It gave the effect, but it also blurred out some of the fringes of some of the pics.
You'll see what I'm talking about..... Anyways, enjoy!

(These showed up the day before the event. Every windshield got one!)

The show is held on the lot of Roberson Motors, a Jeep dealership there in Salem.
They had lots of take offs, from wheels to trailer hitches, even this collection of tops.....and they were selling everything at DEEP discounts.

Temps reached into triple digits that day, so extra cold beverages were on hand.

Talked with this guy for a while... Really nice. Beautiful Jeep, and I think we can look forward to an interview with group he's with in the future:
Wheelin' With Warriors
"Dedicated to all who have served this great nation and those that supported them"
(wish i would have gotten a few better pics)

I thought this was a pretty cool install of a light bar:

Haven't heard of these guys before, but they seem to be a decent alternative to the mainstream.

Thought this was cute....they even gave it its own parking spot.
Just goes to show that this event welcomes ALL Jeeps, and is very family friendly. :)

It was over 100° by the end of the show, and well before then, people were finding shade by any means necessary.

This was pretty cool...a guy hand made these little wooden jeep replicas...
Had them out for any toddler that wanted to climb aboard and play.

Saw this guy stage up in front of me for the RTI ramp...
I was just drawn to his wheels, so I snapped a few.
for some reason those rims really click with me.

This guy showed up again. I got an interview with him last year...
I think this thing is even more bad ass then it was then.
We'll be airing that on The Jeep Talk show in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

I genuinely think that if he wanted to he could drive completely over the RTI ramp without more than 1 tire leaving the ground at a time. This thing had SERIOUS flex.

THIS GUY!
I've seen this dude at several events over the years, and i guess the story goes like this:
Over the winter, he and a friend were driving down the road, when they hit an ice patch.
They lost control of the rig, and ended up rolling.
No one was seriously hurt, and they were able to walk away from the accident.
The jeep was towed home, and version 2.0 started.
The entire roof including the windshield surround was cut off to the doors.
The A, B, C, and D, pillars were all reinforced, the windshield surround was scavenged from another XJ,
...and a full cage was fabbed up and welded in.
Everything was thought of from gussets, to integrated speaker pods, and even light tabs.
Almost looks like a JK/XJ love child,

Where you from Lawman?
This event was started by the president of a local Jeep Club, and has BLOWN UP every year since.
All it takes is the will and a little drive, and you could put together something like this. If you ever decide to tackle the job...let me know, I'd be more than happy to share with you everything I know about the topic.

I'm from Fairmont WV, a little south of Morgantown. I'm a member of the West Virginia Jeep Club, have been for the last 5 years. We used to have an event like this in the middle of the state at a Jeep dealership. Sadly it was disbanded by the dealership a few years back. For all intent and purposes our club is dead. We just don't have enough members that actually try to get together and create an event. Heck, we barely can get 4 people together to go wheel.

Dang,
Thats tough.
Yea, having a decent local "Jeep Constituency" would help a lot.
Not having the members, followers, and local enthusiast support, not to mention the support of a place to hold it, or the love from vendors makes it a REAL challenge.
Not impossible, but a challenge none the less.

Maybe start with a cruise in?
...Or get involved with one of the local football teams/boyscouts/etc.. and throw a car wash to raise awareness
...or try an "Offroad Show" instead of a Jeep only show.
Opening the door to any and every offroader will help with the draw big time.
There's a big one of those here - an "all welcome offroad show" that's held once a year. It's called "No Roads Required" ...it's not Easter Jeep Safari, but it draws a pretty big crowd none the less.... that all started by one mans dream and a cruise-in too.... now it's the largest offroad show in the Pacific Northwest, and it's only 5 years old! :)
Now maybe the greater Portland Metro Area here has a more dense population and a greater number of offroad enthusiasts per/capita.... but that doesnt mean you cant put something together that can evolve over the years.
But it will take a lot of planning and a lot of dedication....especially with the challenges it sounds like you'd be facing. But it is possible. I wish I had the time and money to just travel around the nation planning and organizing offroad/Jeep shows... It's always a lot of fun, and always seems to bring the community together.

We have a lot of offroaders around here, just none that want to tread lightly. They want to tear things up and drink beer. I'm ready to move out west anyway lol.

HA!... i used to know some folks like that.
Not so much anymore.

I became a certified Tread Lightly! Trainer a number of years back, and I've done all I can to teach the principles to those I meet.
I'll even go so far as to walk up to someone I see trying to bypass on a trail inappropriately, or otherwise NOT Treading lightly, and hand em one of these:

Take a few minutes of their time and try to educate them as to why what they're doing is a bad idea.
