HAPPY FATHER'S DAY - to all the dads out there from your friends at the Turbo Diesel Register!

This picture is of William Wingertsahn (right) along with his brother Edward, III and his dad, Edward, taken in 2015. They all still own Ram Turbo Diesel trucks (just newer models now). Both William and his dad have won spots in the TDR calendar - you likely will recognize William’s white truck from this year’s calendar from March. Last year his dad won a spot in the calendar for the month of July! They were featured in TDR 132, pages 6-7.

Remember the TDR Calendar Contest for your chance to have your truck featured in the 2027 wall calendar. All 1989-2026 Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel trucks are welcome! The deadline is September 1.

Here is the link to enter the contest at the TDR:

STRAWBERRY JAM IN NORTH CAROLINA!
If you're in the Bryson City, NC area this weekend, don't miss the annual STRAWBERRY JAM at Darnell Farms - Saturday and Sunday May 16 & 17.
www.darnellfarms.com/strawberry-jam/

Long-time TDR member Randy sent in this photo and it definitely made us all smile! Randy and his wife will be set up with their food truck roasting pecans, cashews and almonds. He said there will be lots of activities including live music, dancing, vendors, food trucks, contests, Dream Whips, and lots of strawberries right from the field. Plus, it's free to get in and enjoy!

If you're nowhere close at least we hope this makes you smile too.🍓🍓🍓
