There are lots of homecoming specials in downtown Monticello this week and weekend! Including this selfie spot and t-shirt giveaway at KJ & Co.!

Things you’ll find downtown Monticello:

✔Something you need.
✔Something you didn’t know you needed.
✔Something you definitely didn’t need… but bought anyway.

That’s the beauty of shopping our 15 independent downtown shops (and 1 on the way!) Every store is different, every owner has a story (and their own quirky personality), and there’s always something worth wandering in for.

Shop downtown Monticello and see what you're missing!

Did you hear the good news?! Monticello will have a bookshop on the square again after a short summer break (because you know how quickly a summer goes by)!! While we were sad to see Book Co. close, we couldn't think of a better sequel! Make sure you're following the Hartfield page so you get updates on the new shop's progress and notices of any special appearances or pop-up sales this summer!
