For 2026, we rebuilt it from the ground up with:
- Confirmed dates (and projected dates where necessary)
- Clear seasonal organization
- Stronger detail on each event
- Easy scroll navigation
- A full at-a-glance calendar
- Travel planning insights
- And of course… a reminder to grab your ducks from myJeepDuck.com 🦆🚙
