What a crowd! This photograph of the 1916 Mount Pulaski Old Settlers Reunion shows the streets crowded with people (and horses). The current Mount Pulaski Fall Festival, which kicks off Thursday, has a century-plus legacy of community gathering and celebration. Our first story on the history of this special event is in today's Top Stories.
