TN250 Bash Rhea County Kickoff

Last Updated 6/29/2026


Nokian Tyres Summer Nights concert series was a huge success this year, attracting hundreds of music lovers on Friday nights in June. We have many people to thank for the success of the concert series, and in particular for the success of Rhea County’s inaugural event of TN250 Bash.

First, let us thank Nokian Tyres, not only for bringing great jobs to Rhea County, but for its genuine support of our community through events like Summer Nights Concerts.

Thank you to Wilson and Cross for a wonderful bluegrass concert.

Thank you to Monkey Town Brewing for making sure the bands never goes hungry.

Thank you to the City of Dayton and Rhea County government.

Thank you to Jyllian Stavely and Wallace Realty and Alex Fine with Rhea County Tourism for putting together a wonderful barbecue competition. The barbecue competition raised $2,600 for Rhea County Boys and Girls Clubs.

Thank you to Monkey Town Inflatables and Kayla Dee's Little Farm petting zoo for your contributions.

Thank you to the Boys and Girls Clubs and Unit Director Nicki Bentley, as they definitely added to the fun, while raising much needed funds.

But most of all, to you, the audience, for once again affirming what a wonderful and generous community we live in.
