[June 29, 2017]  MOUNT PULASKI - Though the Fourth of July Fireworks display at Frazier Park in Mount Pulaski has been delayed to the evening of Saturday, July 8th, there will still be plenty to do in town on Independence day.

The Mount Pulaski Community Band will perform at 2 p.m. at Vonderlieth Living Center.  The public is invited to attend.

For those who love garage sales, the city will host town wide garage sales over the weekend and into the fourth. There will be a total of 48 garage sales with many starting on Friday and Saturday and running through Tuesday.

Address lists may be found at Casey's, G-Mart, The Farmers Bank, and the Illinois National Bank in Mount Pulaski.
