SLSD Jeep InvasionThe Silver Lake Sand Dunes Jeep Invasion is gearing up for its 10th anniversary this month. The event, which began as a grassroots gathering of Jeep enthusiasts, has grown into a premier Jeep event for the Midwest. This year, it'll be held at the dunes from May 28-31. The Jeep Invasion draws hundreds of Jeeps and thousands of attendees from across the United States for off-roading, community and family-friendly fun.
