Event: 2nd Annual Brent Mullins Open House
Date: 17-Mar-01
Location: College Station, Tx
Description: This was Brent's second annual Open House hosted at his place in College Station, Texas.  He hosted the event complete with BBQ catering, porta-potties and several large tents for people to buy, sell and trade parts, stories etc.  He also opened his shop and warehouses to everyone.  There were about 200 people and 15 or so vehicles present for the event.  Even General Patton showed up and gave his ETO speech to the troops!

Brent has a magnificent collection of vehicles, equipment and parts, parts parts.  Did I mention parts?  Lots of time was spent touring his warehouses and you wouldn't' believe what's in them.  Metal pallet/baskets full to the brim of 1940's manufacture parts from Ford, Willys etc.  It truly was an experience to see his inventory.

Then there was the vehicles of his.  He is currently working on restoring two M24 Chaffee light tanks.  He had his M4 Stewart?, M29 Hellcat and High Speed Tractor out for display.  BEAUTIFUL!  Both inside and out.  These are probably the finest pcs of military equipment around.  Then there were the other projects and donor vehicles scattered throughout.

He put on a really nice event with catering BBQ, porta-potties and large tents for the people who brought items to sell.  The following members from our club showed up for this event: Herb J with his 1953 M37 and communications gear, Scott S and his 1953 M38A1, Glen V and his CJ2A, Barry F, Jeff McD, Milburn L, Don L and his wife, Danny K, John K, Claude V and his wife and 2 grandkids, Don C and Web S.
