Saturday morning,
the community of Mount Pulaski kicked off the second day
of their 175th anniversary celebration with a parade
themed "Life on the Hill."
Bob McCue, the announcer for the morning, read several
narratives explaining the founding of Mount Pulaski and
the rich history the community has enjoyed over the last
175 years.
Among the many introductions of notable individuals in
the Mount Pulaski area were those of "Little Deer," a
Kickapoo chief; Count Casimir Pulaski, for whom the town
is named; and Will and Roger Capps, descendants of the
Capps family.
