Remembering Willie âPo Monkeyâ Seaberry at Merigold, Mississippi Although a few of my friends expressed concern and disapproval of the name of Merigold, Mississippi's Po Monkey Day, the event was organized for the first time last year to honor the late Willie "Po Monkey" Seaberry, who was the owner of the legendary Po Monkey Lounge just outside the town of Merigold.
