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. |
