DILLON, MT – Saturday, June 14, marked a fun-filled day in Dillon as the Jaycees hosted their annual Demolition Derby followed by the Summer Kickoff Concert at the Beaverhead County Fairgrounds Rodeo Arena.

This year's derby featured the full-size class and the ever-popular Herby Derby, drawing enthusiastic spectators from across the community. Between matches, fans enjoyed UTV barrel racing, where competitors navigated a clover-shaped course, aiming for the best time without knocking over any barrels.

Adding to the excitement, the event showcased the thrill of lawnmower racing. These aren't your average lawn mowers — they are specially built for speed, and the high-speed races around the track provided adrenaline-pumping entertainment. One rider emerged as the winner, taking home a $500 prize.

The evening’s festivities concluded with a concert headlined by Montana’s own Tim Montana, drawing a large crowd eager to enjoy great music and the summer atmosphere.

Stay tuned: We will update this article with the winners of the lawnmower and derby races as soon as results are available.
