Mt. Pulaski corrals the crowds with its rodeo themed Second Friday event

 

[June 18, 2024] 

Once again, the Community Association of Mt Pulaski did not disappoint with its Second Friday on the Square event on June 14th. The committee provided a good time for the community to come together with activities, various food choices, and music choices for all ages. However, the most impressive is the focus that brings the community's children together in a fun and exciting fashion.

This month's focus was a rodeo-themed event for boys and girls ages nine and under by “Lil-O-Rodeo.”

The event included a Cutest Lil Cowgirl and Cowboy, barrel racing, pole bending, flag, and boot race, and a Buckin’ Bouncy Bull contest.

Rodeo Randy played music throughout the evening on Jefferson Street while kids utilized the petting zoo of goats, a cow, a small pony a couple of pigs, bunnies, a variety of poultry breeds, and giant yard games for the whole family to partake in.

For the fun-loving adults that just wanted to sit back and relax, there was a raffle to win a Father’s Day Grilling Meat Basket, a fundraiser for a special event at Mt. Pulaski’s Fall Festival in September, and music from Jason Bassett playing on the main stage, sponsored by the Mt. Pulaski Economic Development Planning Board.

A special thanks to this month's sponsors, Logan County Tourism Bureau, and Rise Broadband.
