Members
from throughout the community came to the American
Legion Ryman-Fuiten Post 447 Hall in Mount Pulaski
on Saturday night. It was
an occasion to celebrate the man for whom the town is
named as well as to continue the yearlong celebration of
the town's 175th anniversary.
Tom Martin, who
chairs the Mount Pulaski 175th Anniversary Committee,
was master of ceremonies. Antoni Skeilnik, a retired
diesel mechanic immigrant from Poland who lives in Mount
Pulaski with his wife, Betty, gave a toast in his native
Polish to Casimir Pulaski.
Authentic Polish
cuisine was prepared by Mike and Jennifer Richner of
Hilltop Catering
