Team Nutz Returned to the Annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival 2022

BUTLER, PA (06.16.22) – The 11h Annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival took place June 10th thru 12th in historic downtown Butler PA and on the Cooper’s Lake Campground. Over 15,000 Jeepers attended the weekend and enjoyed off-road trails, obstacle courses and a huge vendor area filled with companies that offer aftermarket products for Jeep owners and enthusiasts. The downtown Butler Jeep Invasion witnessed over 1000 Jeeps parked along main street and parking areas in the town of approximately 13,000 located 35 miles north of Pittsburgh. Butler was named the 7th Best Small Town in America in a Smithsonian Magazine in 2012.

*Team Nutz is located about 35 miles from the Jeep Bantam Festival and had a big footprint at the event.*

*AAMP Global’s Christian Venn is flanked by Rusty North (L) and Ed Nuttal from Team Nutz. North is with End Result and was on site representing AAMP Global’s Jeep intensive Stinger brand.*

Team Nutz is a proactive 12volt retailer located in Pittsburgh and returned to the Bantam Jeep Festival for the 2022 run. Ed Nuttall related, “The JeepFest draws thousands of Jeepers, enthusiasts and their rides. That crowd is noted for adding aftermarket products to their rides. We do a lot of Jeep upgrades at the store, and being so close to our store in Pittsburgh, it makes perfect sense for our brand to be on site. We had a great crew on site with vendor support, a large booth area with multiple tents plus several demo vehicles. Sales this year were strong and our team made contact with quite a number of promising prospects.”

*Attendance at this year‘s event was strong as it has been in past years.*

*Jeepers also spent time on trails located on the very area around the Butler area.*

The Team Nutz team on site this year totaled 8 with strong support from Stinger Electronics’ Christian Venn and Rusty North from End Result. The AAMP of America Stinger booth was next to the Team Nutz tent. Several good customers and Jeepers were also adjacent to Team Nutz on the grounds.

The Stinger Heigh 10, which takes a Jeeper’s infotainment system to the next level, was one of the hottest products in the Team Nutz booth. On site installations were hampered somewhat by a shortage kits.

“Stinger was a great support team, with Christian Venn and the AAMP truck, to work side by side at the event. With their expertise and products in the booth right next to our booth they spoon fed us sales,” Nuttall added.

Today Jeepers are showing their support for other Jeep vehicles with blue rubber ducks. “We made 1500 custom blue rubber ducks for the event and placed over 1300 on Jeeps we liked. Downtown we went down along parked Jeeps and put the blue ducks of hoods and around door handles. The blue rubber ducks had the Team Nutz logo for all to see and remember,” Nuttall related.

*Rosie was popular and received three ducks including a Team Nutz Blue Duck. People reward Jeeps they like with small rubber ducks.*

*The Team Nutz booth stretched well over 100 feet.*

Concluding, Nuttall stated, “This was our 6th or 7th time to exhibit at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival. Based on our success at this year’s event expect to see us at the 2023 event and beyond.
