Let's celebrate our 250th birthday and decorate Monticello with red, white, and blue! To help mark this occasion in our patriotic history, Col. David Love Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, Drew County Master Gardeners, and Monticello-Drew County Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring a Porch/Front Yard Decorating Contest. Get your neighborhood involved. Create a theme for your street or road. Let's show our revolutionary spirit and make Monticello and Drew County red, white, and blue!
