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.

help raise money for the courthouse
restoration. Any and all donations are
greatly appreciated. |
