WALTHAM, MA — Jeeps & Cones, an event designed to help a local business while creating a sense of community for Jeep owners, returns to Pizzi Farm Market & Deli on Saturday, October 15 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

According to event organizer Natasha Arseneau, an average of 70 jeeps attended the first and second Jeeps & Cones events in June and September 2021. She is hoping to exceed that total at this month’s event.

"The main purpose behind this event is, Fun!” Arseneau said in an email. "It really is impressive when you line up 60 or 70 Jeeps in a parking lot, and no two Jeeps will be alike. Jeep owners in general are very kind hearted people and often ' pay to drive ' meaning that the convoys you see, or meets that are put together are usually to benefit a cause or need!”
