The Diesel Brothers come to Festival of Trees!

Festival of Trees is excited to announce that the Diesel Brothers will be coming to Festival of Trees on Thursday, November 29th from 7pm - 9pm.  

Heavy D, Diesel Dave, The Muscle and Red Beard will all be available to take pictures and sign autographs. Their big, fancy “6x6” truck will be in the Mountain America Expo Center for the public to view. All proceeds will be donated to the Festival of Trees.

You can watch their show on the Discovery Channel. Buying diesel trucks headed for the scrap heap and giving them new leases on life has turned into big business for the Diesel Brothers. Led by Heavy D and Diesel Dave, the crew works hard and plays harder as they trick out the trucks for use in elaborate pranks and stunts, all of which becomes a marketing tool on social media. Millions of hits later the company is known as the destination for diesel lovers who are looking for custom builds, crazy stunts, pranks and hilarious antics.

The Diesel Brothers are known to give back to their community. Especially now, they hold Festival of Trees and Primary Children’s Hospital dear to their tough, but tender hearts…

Van Oakes, a long-time member of the Diesel Brothers, his pregnant wife and three daughters were returning from dinner on June 2nd, 2018, driving in their ATV. The vehicle spun out and flipped several times before landing. Their four and five-year-old daughters were thrown from the vehicle.

Van managed to lift the ATV enough so his wife could pull out four-year-old Kaizley.  Both Kaizley and Rylinn were life-flighted to Primary Children’s Hospital and suffered traumatic brain injuries. They spent a month in Primary Children’s Hospital and both have made amazing recoveries. They are grateful for amazing doctors, nurses, prayers and miracles that helped to save the lives of their daughters.

Van and his family have enjoyed coming to Festival of Trees over the years
