August 28th marked the conclusion of the 2026 Winning Wheels summer concert season in Prophetstown. There are many involved who not only make the summer concert series work so well but have helped evolve the summer concert series into a well-anticipated annual community event.
2026 was the 9th year for our event, and even though the weather did not cooperate a few times, the concert series was still a huge success. Work has already begun to make next year our 10th and one of our best to date.
On behalf of Winning Wheels, I would like to publicly thank the following businesses/organizations, vendors, and service providers who, without their continued support, the concert series would not exist. THANK YOU! We’ll see you all next summer!
Sincerely,
Mike Chastain, Summer Concert Series Coordinator, Winning Wheels, Inc.
