November-December 2024

Meet our Nutty Cruiser, a giant almond on wheels packed with creativity and innovation that delighted attendees with its debut at the 114th Annual Meeting. To the upper right of the Blue Diamond logo, there’s an air-powered cannon that shoots bags of Blue Diamond Almonds and runs on a compressed air tank that recharges while driving! Fun Facts About the Nutty Cruiser: • The almond exterior is handcrafted from fiberglass and foam. • It took over 2,000 hours of skilled craftsmanship to carve and assemble. • Every detail is fully custom-built.

It’s a testament to the incredible teamwork and dedication of Jennifer Roover, Ralph Failla, and Lorena Nuñez, who made this vision a reality. And if you happen to spot the Nutty Cruiser on the road, snap a pic and share it with us.
