Monticello Celebration

Mark your calendar for October 4, 2008, that’s Main Street’s 8th Annual Monticello Celebration. A great variety of Art and Craft vendors will be open from 10 am to 4 pm on the downtown square. The very popular Pet Parade and Contest starts at 10:30 am, with registration at 10 am. This year’s Kid’s Activity Area is bigger and better and will include a Bounce House, Double Shoot B-Ball and Obstacle Course and Jousting. There will also be lots of other games and make-it take-it activities. We are happy to announce the addition of a caricaturist that will be for the enjoyment of all ages.
