It's going to be a busy weekend in Piatt County for the 4th of July holiday.

Monticello Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Shelly Crawford-Stock indicates things get going tonight with some music and food at Allerton Park. It's the 'Red, White, and Blues' event, or catch the Bement Country Opry. 

Crawford-Stock reminds that Sunday is Monticello Freedom Fest. It's the annual 4th of July fireworks display with games and vendors and food as well as a shuttle service from the high school to Lodge Park.

On Monday, Bement will have its fireworks display. 

Crawford-Stock notes there are still a few tickets available for the 4th of July fireworks-watching event with the Monticello Railway Museum.
