The Indiana Bicentennial Commission held its September meeting at the Lake County Public Library on Sept. 18. There were 80 Legacy Projects approved this round, one of which is in Pulaski County.

Quilters of Pulaski County will complete a “Quiltessential Pulaski County” project.

The county’s most talented needle-and-thread artists will create a one-of-a-kind Pulaski County themed quilt, showcasing unique, historic and otherwise interesting places on the blocks and squares of the quilt.

Upon completion, the artwork will spend the entire year of 2016 traveling throughout Pulaski County, where it will be temporarily displayed in libraries, schools, festivals and a host of other sites accessible to the residents and visitors of Pulaski County.
