November 2017

Would you take a 15-year-old to “the most isolated spot in mainland Alaska”? That’s what James Campbell did, and he’s sharing his story courtesy of Belleville Public Library on Thursday, November 9th, at 7:00 p.m., at the Belleville High School Auditorium, 625 W. Church Street.  Campbell wanted to break from the organization and structure of sports and school, to give his daughter a chance to experience the true meaning of awe, the kind that combines beauty and fear.

Santa Claus is coming to town!!  Santa will make his annual pre-Christmas visit to Monticello on Saturday, December 9, 2017, at the Monticello Fire Station. While Santa greets the children there and hears their wishes for Christmas, his elves are working hard to set up a special shop for the children to buy gifts for their family members.  Santa’s Workshop increases in popularity each year, and this year looks to be every bit as exciting and well-attended, but it can’t happen without your help.  Santa’s Workshop will be open from 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
