Presented by: Pine Barren Venom Jeep Club
A community together
This past weekend on 5/16/2026, the Pine Barren Venom Jeep Club proudly hosted Barricade Go Topless Day. Held at the beautiful property of Evergreen Dairy Bar. Bringing together Jeep enthusiasts, local businesses, families, and community members for a day centered around fun, friendship, and giving back.
Barricade Go Topless Day is a nationwide Jeep community event held across the country each year. These events support charities and nonprofit organizations. This year’s local event benefited Special Events for Special Kids (SE4SK). This organization is dedicated to raising money to help children with special needs enjoy excursions, activities, and special events designed to put smiles on their faces.
With nearly perfect weather and sunshine throughout the day, attendees were treated to an incredible lineup. This included beautiful Jeeps, trucks, and specialty vehicles spread across Evergreen Dairy Bar’s scenic grass parking area. The property provided the perfect backdrop for the event. The club extends a sincere thank you to Evergreen Dairy Bar for once again welcoming the community onto their beautiful grounds.
One of the best parts of the day was seeing such a diverse crowd come together. Members of multiple Jeep clubs from throughout the region showed their support, proving once again how strong and connected the off-road and Jeep community truly is.
We are in this together!
Local businesses also stepped up in a big way to support the event. “Liquid Iron Industries” came out strong as always. Handing out goodie bags and discount cards while spending the day engaging with attendees and supporting the cause.
Another major highlight came from “Action Plumbing”, who brought out their large Vactor truck for attendees to explore. Kids and adults alike lined up for the opportunity to climb into the driver’s seat and blast the truck’s massive air horns. This quickly became one of the most talked-about attractions of the day.
Adding even more excitement to the event, a local farm brought out a military Deuce and a Half truck as part of the Touch A Truck experience. Visitors had a chance to get up close with a unique piece of military-style equipment and creating another memorable attraction for families and children.
The club also recognizes the incredible effort put in by the PBVJC staff and volunteers throughout the event. From organizing parking and handling tables to helping attendees and keeping everything running smoothly. The team worked hard behind the scenes to make the day enjoyable for everyone involved. Special recognition also goes to the club’s Go Topless Day liaison, Siobhan, who once again did an amazing job coordinating behind-the-scenes efforts with Barricade and helping secure the flags and stickers that attendees proudly displayed throughout the event.
A humble experience
Let it be noted that this free event was a tremendous success. Proving that the community did not need trophies, raffles, or prizes to come together and stand strong for an amazing cause. The relaxed meet-and-greet atmosphere allowed people to slow down for a day, chat with fellow enthusiasts, admire each other’s vehicles, and simply enjoy each other’s company. Throughout
