Learn who won the contest for our first ever Little Miss and Mr Engineer! Of course you don’t want to miss Dr. Cochran’s scheduled return visit to peddle his famous elixir. Try out the Pump Rail Car Ride right on the street. Don’t miss our perennial favorites; “Paint The Town” squares by the Monticello Area Arts Council, and the Kid’s Corner. . From the Wabash Station leading to the downtown you’ll want to check out The Sundowners Car Show and an exhibit of Monticello’s school Box Car trains. On the Courthouse lawn, a structure straight out of Hooverville, will be presented by local 6th graders. On Saturday if you stay around to the evening hours you will enjoy the music of Bad Medicine and Feudin Hillbillies! Make sure you make take a trip out to the Rail Museum at Nelson’s Crossing and partake in the parade of the greatest engines ever made, ride the rails and enjoy a grand variety of other events on both days.
