Big Ten Rentals delivered and professionally installed a 20′ × 30′ aluminum frame event tent (600 sq ft) at McGrath Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in preparation for the dealership’s annual Jeep Night.
The clear-span frame tent provides a clean, weather-protected space on the lot for food service, registration, staff operations, and guest comfort during the popular evening event.
Event Context
McGrath Jeep Night returns on Thursday, August 6, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the McGrath Jeep location (4610 Center Point Road NE). It is one of the largest gatherings of Jeep owners and enthusiasts in Eastern Iowa.
Jeep owners bring their Wranglers, Gladiators, and other models to show them off and compete in categories such as Baddest Jeep in Iowa, Best Rock Crawler, Best Gladiator, Best “Jeep Girl” Jeep, Dirtiest Jeep, Best Old School, and Best License Plate. Free food is provided by Nelson’s Meat Market, with face painting and ice cream available for families. The event is open to the public—Jeep owners and non-owners alike are welcome.
The 20′ × 30′ frame tent supports the high-traffic food and gathering area, giving staff and guests reliable cover from sun or afternoon storms common in early August.
