Mount
Pulaski Courthouse to host quilt show -- exhibitors wanted
MOUNT PULASKI -- The Mount Pulaski Courthouse
Foundation is sponsoring a quilt show Sept. 8 and 9, during the Mount
Pulaski Fall Festival. The quilts will be displayed at the Mount Pulaski
Courthouse from noon to 8 p.m. on Sept. 8 and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 9.
All quilts are welcome. If you wish to
exhibit a quilt, call the courthouse at 217-792-3919 between noon
and 4 p.m. daily, Tuesday through Saturday, to obtain a quilt entry
form and guidelines. Quilt entry forms are also available at many
area shops and libraries. All entry forms are due by Aug. 15.
Awards will be provided for first, second and third places. The
awards will be based on votes by all visitors.
Each quilt displayed has a unique story to tell. The quilt
pictured was made on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South
Dakota. It was won in a basketball tournament by Terry Middletent, from
the Lower Brule Reservation. When Pastor Barbara Stroud-Borth left
her seminary internship on the Lower Brule Lakota Reservation, Terry
and his wife, Mary Jane, gave it to her to honor and thank her for
the year she lived and worked with the people of Lower Brule.
A committee of volunteers is putting on the quilt show to help
raise money for the courthouse restoration. Any and all donations
are greatly appreciated.
