It's time for the 4th Annual Hornet Day!
If you're looking for a fun way to spend a few warm summer evenings, the City of Monroe is having its third annual "Movie in the Park." The City, along with its sponsors, want to provide families with a way to get out and spend an evening together. This is a great way for the community to get out and spend an evening together as well!
If you're looking for something fun to do this summer for you or your children, the Monroe Lending Library is the place to be!
It's that time of year again. The good ol' USA is celebrating yet another birthday and the city of Monroe is putting together another great Fourth of July Celebration this year. 
It's that time of year again. Memorial Day weekend, a time when families begin spending more time outside camping, grilling and having a good time. But each year, 10,000 Americans are injured in incidents involving fireworks and 5,000 are injured in grill fires. In 2009, in Ohio alone 19 people died and 207 people were injured in fires during the summer months.
Monroe High School has a new "pop-a cappella" group and their name is "Between the Lines" or "BLT." The group is made up mostly of kids who will be seniors next years. They rehearse each day, after school, from 2:45 - 4:45 PM and will be singing at high school events and events in the Monroe Community.
If you're looking for something to do this upcoming weekend, why not go fishing? The state of Ohio is offering "Free Fishing Days" on Saturday, May 1, and Sunday, May 2, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. This means anyone can fish in any of the state's public waters without having to have a fishing license. Normally, if you're over the age of sixteen, you must purchase a licenses to remove fish, frogs, and turtles from any Ohio water. Fishing licenses are $19 and are available at bait and tackle stores, outdoor outfitters, major department stores, and online at WildOhio.com.
