Did you think we forgot about yall?

Apologies for the short hiatus friends!

Life has been keeping the MONfest team a little busy!

What have we been up to?

Well, slinging new merch at a Raygun pop up for one! Thank you to all who came out Saturday June 6th - it was great to see long-time supporters and meet new friends!

The real hit was our decorate your own plushie station - if you're worried you missed out, don't fret! Our team members who sew have been busily prepping more for our stash at MONfest. They make great bag charms or work well clipped to your belt loop. So many possibilities!

Our favorite part about the make your own plushies station is the way you can customize each to be your very own work of art.

We will have this and many more MONfest custom stations throughout the festival AND MORE art activations than ever before.

Can you tell we're excited?

But, before we get too ahead of ourselves - there's some ways you can help out! We are still looking for volunteers to help us keep MONfest 3 running smoothly.

We've got more in the works as we

Countdown to MONfest 3

Count down to 2026-07-11T18:00:00.000Z​

But, that will have to wait until next time.

Heads up! You will be hearing from us a bit more frequently as we are under a month away from the third annual festival! But we promise, to keep it cute.

Remember - in rural we vibe! And Happy Pride y'all!
