“I want to thank everyone for voting and especially to the supporters that voted for me, James Slaughter for Drew County Sheriff.

We have a lot of work to do between for the run-0ff, but I am prepared to put in that work to be able to serve as your sheriff.

My main goals as your Sheriff are to prioritize our children’s safety and to clean the drugs off the streets.

I’m intending on building a great TEAM with our law enforcement and our county.”

-James Slaughter

The Holiday House shopping event put on by the junior league of Little Rock has a familiar Monticello face participating in the event this year.

Korry Jones of Watercolors by Korry, has a booth filled with Christmas decorations, original art, t-shirts, and a variety of other gifts featuring her artwork.

Easily recognized by her pink displays, Korry has been pursuing art as a career for a little over two years.

Each float entry will be selecting their favorite Christmas carol and then decorating their entry to look depict that song. Also, each entry will have music playing and sparkling Christmas lights to add to the excitement of the evening.  Miss Arkansas will be joining us and serving as our parade marshal.

A special “Christmas Train” will be offering rides all around the town square beginning at 4:30 pm.  Each child will also be given holiday treats and countless opportunities for some outstanding photo opportunities.

This popular event simply would not be possible without our Christmas Parade sponsors.  In an effort to help recognize our event sponsors, the chamber will be posting names of our sponsoring individuals and businesses all around our town square.   We invite each of you to join in helping to sponsor another “Carols of Christmas” Parade night here in Monticello.

Suggested sponsorship levels are $600.00 and $250.00.

Thank you,
