Friday evening
activities include the American Legion steak fry, beginning at 5
p.m.
Mount Pulaski will
also dedicate the Abraham Lincoln rural at 6:30 p.m. This mural,
created by Washington, Ill., artist David Webster, is painted on the
side of Marcia's Café and depicts a large image of Lincoln in front
of the Mount Pulaski House, a hotel that existed when Lincoln was a
circuit lawyer in Logan County.

Rockafeller will be in concert on the square. And at 8 p.m., Hickory
will perform in the beer tent.
Saturday's activities
will begin early with a VFW annual breakfast at 6 a.m., followed by
Krispy Kreme doughnuts at 8 a.m. (for those of us who like to sleep
in on Saturdays).
At 9 a.m., the annual
Soap Box Derby will run on Washington Street, a steep descent
familiar to Mount Pulaskians.
The FFA will offer a
petting zoo from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
At 11 a.m. is a
kiddie tractor pull sponsored by Jaycees.
