Saturday, May 16, is going to be a fun-filled day, starting at 11:00 a.m., with the Fireman's Pig Roast, with live music from local musician Andy Yaun. The Pig Roast will be held at the Monticello Fire Station, located at the north end of Main Street. After you enjoy the pig roast, you can get some flowers to plant from the Monticello 4-H club, some nuts to eat from the Monticello Lioness Nut Sale and don't forget to check out the Craft Show and Small Business booths from 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

The Village Park will be abuzz with activity on Saturday as well. A Car, Truck, Motorcycle and Tractor show, with proceeds to benefit Project Home, will be taking place from 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. There is a $10.00 entry fee per vehicle, and judging will be based on Popular Vote. The Community Club Ball Games start at 1:00 p.m., along with a Beer Garden. Live music starts at 1:00 p.m. with The Jimmys. The Rain Dogs will perform from 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m., and Andy and the Mad Dogs will play from 8:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m.
