March

[May 13, 2021]
After skipping a year, young men and women in Mount Pulaski stepped
out in high style to parade before their peers and families.
As our society gradually emerges from over a year of pandemic
shutdowns and stay-at-home social isolation, on Saturday, May 8,
2021 the annual right-of-passage Prom Grand March was more-than-ever
appreciated and a welcomed event. Not even the threat of a rainstorm
could thwart the happy celebration.
The event was set to begin at 5 p.m. but the Mount Pulaski Downtown
Historic Square was buzzing at 4:20 p.m. and everyone was there
already. Sprinkles had started and stopped several times.
Coordinators determined it was best to start the march early as the
beautifully attired young men and women were all present. And the
parade began.

Later the prom goers headed for Poe's on the Hill, Springfield for a night of
dinner and dancing... and life resumes.
