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.
