Friday morning it was all about giving in Logan County. Before their school time began, the third-grade children of Mount Pulaski stunned a packed gymnasium with their $11,180.89 donation (pictured at right) to the Mount Pulaski Courthouse Foundation.
Later in the morning, the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce retired their beloved watermelon car (at left) to a very worthy cause. The car, which is pretty much worn out, was given to the Lincoln Fire Department. The department plans to use the vehicle in an educational demonstration for high school students and at the same time give their firefighters experience with using the tools needed to extricate a victim from a crashed car.
