MONTICELLO – Mayor Rochelle Massey and Village Trustee Gordon Jenkins proudly led a group of 45 local children on a free trip to Dorney Park, providing a full day of fun, learning, and community building. The trip was made possible in part by funding from the Sullivan County Legislature Youth Bureau, highlighting a strong collaboration between the Village and County to create opportunities for Monticello youth.

“This trip was more than just a day at an amusement park –  it was about giving our kids new experiences, building relationships, and showing them that their community cares about them,” said Mayor Rochelle Massey. “We are committed to continuing this tradition and making sure that Monticello youth have access to enriching and exciting opportunities.”

The Village of Monticello has already made plans to return to Dorney Park in 2026. Additionally, Mayor Massey announced that the Village is planning an expanded slate of youth-focused activities for next year, including trips to Monster Jam, SplashDown Beach, and the legendary Ringling Brothers Circus.

Trustee Gordon Jenkins shared, “We believe in investing in our young people. When we create positive experiences for kids, we strengthen families and our entire community.”

The Village of Monticello remains committed to engaging youth, supporting parents, and creating safe, fun, and educational programs that encourage growth and community pride.
