[September 12, 2023]   This year, the Mt. Pulaski Fall Festival hosted its very first cake walk. The event was put on by Bobbie Taylor and held in the street right outside Vinegar Hill Treasure Chest.

Taylor, who is the owner of the business, said she thought it would be fun for the kids. Taylor also runs Bobbie’s Daycare out of Mt. Pulaski and said she’s all about the kids.

As the event got underway, kids and adults alike walked around a large circle of numbers, each separated into its own box. A speaker was set up on the sidewalk, and when the music started playing, the people started walking. When the music stopped, everyone did too.

Taylor used a random number generator and called out the number it came up with. If you were lucky enough to be on that number, you won a baked good.



The goodies ranged from cookies and Rice Krispie treats to full cakes. The winner got to pick whatever they wanted. Lincoln Daily News’ own reporter Matt Boutcher and his wife Abby even gave it a go, both winning on their first try!

The cake walk went on for nearly two hours and became more popular as time went on. During that time, dozens of baked goods were given away. Taylor shared that several people donated cookies and other treats for the event. Taylor herself baked all the cakes that were given out.
