You'll recall that for six years, the Buckeye 4-Wheel Jamboree was a staple in eastern Ohio until 2003 when, due to scheduling conflicts, the event was placed on hiatus. Well, last July, after a four-year absence, the Canfield Fairgrounds once again hosted a major four-wheel-drive festival. This time it was called the Truck & Jeep Fest, and it featured all the familiar and popular Jambo fare. It differed from its predecessor in a big way, though, because it benefited from the added muscle of the aftermarket-leading companies that were its presenters: 4Wheel Parts and 4-Wheel Drive Hardware. The result was a hugely successful event that drew 659 participants, 142 exhibitors, and 10,671 spectators.
