It
was Fall Festival weekend in Mount
Pulaski and there was plenty to do and
see all around town starting on Friday
night and continuing on Saturday. This
year’s Grand Marshal for the Saturday
afternoon parade was Teena Lowery.
Lowery was born and raised in Mount
Pulaski, she married a hometown boy and
they raised two great kids in the small
close-knit community. People who know
Teena, even if only by sight, know that
she is always smiling, always upbeat,
and always on the go. As part of the LDN
staff, we often call her the "Energizer
Bunny," simply because she's always on
the go and does it with a great big ole'
smile!

On
Saturday morning in Lincoln, the
National Railsplitting Festival kicked
off with a ribbon cutting. Members of
the local Railsplitting Association,
folks working in the many live
demonstration areas at Postville
Courthouse, and other guests were joined
by Logan County Fair Queen Molly Schempp,
Junior Miss Julia Collins, and Little
Miss Kylee Fulk; and Ward One Alderman
Tracy Welch standing in for Mayor
Goodman, posed for a group photo. Then
Welch and Railsplitter Association
President Darlene Begolka snipped the
ribbon. LDN will have additional
coverage from the Railsplitter Festival
on Tuesday.
