Last
weekend was excellent weather for the Mount Pulaski Fall
Festival. Festivities began on Friday evening and
continued with a terrific parade on Saturday. Phyliss
Beccue was chosen Grand Marshal for the 2021 parade.
Beccue, a 32-year educator and small business owner was
completely taken by surprise by the announcement. She
happily sat on the back of a little red convertible and
rode through town waving and smiling at friends and more
than a few former students.

On
Friday, September 10th, Sun Ag, Inc in Emden celebrated
its first anniversary with a customer appreciation day
and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Sun Ag, Inc., owned by Dave and Lori Neisler, took over
ownership of Tri-Ag owned by Don Batterton on September
10th, 2020. Because of the coronavirus, the two
companies were unable to celebrate the transition
publicly. Therefore they decided to do it up right at
the one-year anniversary.
Dave Neisler snipped the ribbon on Friday while wife
Lori, Don and Debbie Batterton, Emden Mayor John Snyder
and Sun Ag staff looked on. Also behind the ribbon, but
not in the photo was the original owner of the
fertilizer company, Tom Komnick.
