DYNO DAY 2022

The annual D.P.S. Dyno Day competition and event will begin at 9 a.m. at D.P.S., 1051 North 10th.

The day will start off by measuring the torque that comes from the rear tires of the truck measured from a Dyno, otherwise known as a dynamometer. This device will help convert the revolutions of the tires into horsepower, to determine which truck has the most horsepower.

There is a fee to enter the competition that is part of the Northwest Dyno Circuit.

There will be cash and trophy prizes for winners in each division.

There will be food concessions from The Other Store and beer sales from Goose’s Liquor.

There will also be a car show at the event.

Call 347-4410 for more information on entering the Dyno competition or the car show.

JUMP FOR JESUS

Gene Sullivan of Montana will be bringing his tent meeting to Worland on Saturday night at the Worland Community Center back lawn begging sometime between 5:30 and 6 p.m.

“I’ve been doing these outdoor community meetings and tent meetings since the early ‘70s. They are a very informal and exciting gathering of people who are desiring to experience the presence of Jesus Christ and the movement of His Spirit in an open and free environment. There will be live music by our ‘New Life Singers,’ testimonies of the power of God, and my own personal story of Jesus’ demonstration and power in my life,” Sullivan said.

“We are not denominational, nor are we connected to any contemporary religious movement. We do not solicit money or take offerings. For 52 years I’ve been following the admonition of Jesus in (John 12:26, Acts 1:4-8, and Jerimiah 6:16) to follow Him in His ministry — what He did, what He said, and how He did things. and wait until He gave me the power to follow Him. And to seek after and demonstrate the ‘Old Paths’ of His ministry.”

Sullivan said, “Quite frankly, people can expect to experience the same Holy Ghost ministry of the first century believers without the modern denominational influences, programing, religious sales promotions, and appeal for membership. It’s come as you are, experience for yourself, decide for yourself.”
