[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.
