Mark your calendars - MONfest 3 is loading

Hi Reader!

If you saw the notice hit the gram earlier this month, we hope you are as excited as we are for the drop of our official MONfest 3 date.

Join us at the Cellar Winery for MONfest 3 Saturday July 11, 2026

And... for a little hint of what's to come with our theme, feel free to scroll through this awesome comic our favorite Artist Founder made.

a graphic illustration of Siri stands in front of a house, a masked cat and a masked raccoon say "Trick or Treat" two human friends peek through the window from inside.

The same scene as above, siri answers "Hmmm...treat!"

Siri is hit by a green slime substance and yells "aaah!" as he is lifted off the ground, all the other animal and human characters are stunned

An illustrated personified version of the earth smiles as we zoom out and see a green wave emerging from the top

Siri is seen in the green slime below a UFO being flown by a chicken

An outer space scene with the earth in the background and the characters from before plus a beaver, opossum and rabbit stand on an orange planet. Text reads The Middle of NowHere 3 7.11

We can't wait to explore this intergallactic world with you.
