The Lake Montesian Fisheree, sponsored by the Green County Conservation League and the Monticello Lions Club, was held on Sunday, January 28, 2018, at Lake Montesian in Monticello.

The Chickaree is an event the Monticello Community Club started 20 years ago in conjunction with the Lion's Club Fisheree.

This year the volunteers of the Community Club grilled over 600 chickens. The chickens were basted with the traditional recipe that is also used at the Chicken Barbecue during Homecoming.
