There’ll also be a display of art by Mono’s youngest citizens, created on September 12 and framed, as well as numerous games for children, along with miniature horses.

Another feature will be a Mono Candidates Soap Box, where candidates for next month’s municipal elections will be get up “to sing, dance, recite or pontificate.”
