2018 Pioneer Day 5k
The Monticello High School class of 1958 had a 60th Reunion in Monticello on July 21. They met at Sue Gerstner’s house on Main and 200 South to watch the parade. Sue graciously provided a buffet luncheon which the group worked on as they listened to old time rock and roll music and reminisced about where they had been and what they had done since graduation. In the evening they had dinner at the Walkabout (formerly the Lamplight and before that the bowling alley). Here they are gathered for dinner.

The annual Pioneer Day Celebration brightened Monticello July 19 to 21. Thousands of guests attended from around the country, making it one of the many highlights of the summer.
Food, crafts, and competitions made this celebration one to remember.
A peaceful movie in the park brought large crowds together late Thursday evening before the competitions began Friday afternoon.
The annual Treasure Hunt took place Friday and brought in more than 100 participants. Nine puzzle pieces guided participants to more than ten local businesses.
At each stop, participants had to complete a task before they could receive their next puzzle piece.
The first place team consisted of Nebeker, Bunker, and Walker kids. They received a 25 ounce bar of solid silver for their work.
Second place was awarded to Katie Player and her kids, Heidi, Alice, Warner and Mary. Tyler Yeager was the third place winner.
The Monticello Quilters Guild held their annual quilt show at the Monticello Public library Friday and Saturday. It featured more than 15 beautiful quilts.
