It was a great day in Mount Pulaski for the Fourth of July activities. The weather was absolutely beautiful.

A nice crowd turned out for the VFW chicken dinner uptown on the square.

Boy Scout Troop 122 had a very successful pork chop dinner at two locations: East Park and the parking lot of Johnson's Food Center.

Meanwhile, the crowds for the garage sales were huge all day.

The evening was perfectly capped off at Frazier Park with a performance by the Mount Pulaski band Haircut Actual and, of course, the eagerly anticipated fireworks display.

The folks of Mount Pulaski would like to thank all of those who participated in the day's activities and helped to make it such a success.
