Moultrie County was second in corn yield sweepstakes in Illinois in 1990 with a yield of of 146 bushels per acre according to the Illinois Cooperative Cooperative Crop Reporting Service.
More than 100 people participated in Moultrie County Homemakers Extension Assn. Day Feb. 21 at the Masonic Temple. Morning activities included self improvement presentations from Emilee Best of Merle Norman on makeup and Shirley Beck of Dr. Tom Best’s office on different types of eyewear. Participants learned about the history of the Little Theatre on the Square from Nancy Burcham during the afternoon program, and Debbie Seelhoefer sang numbers from the theatre’s upcoming season.
Sisters Sheila Smith of Sullivan and Brenda Vilmure of Bethany were among the 104 residents who donated blood at the Feb. 19 Red Cross blood drive in the Sullivan American Legion building. Eight people, most of them high school students gave blood for the first time.
It became official Monday, and they offered plenty of proof as to why Tuesday. Big plays around the basket have been part of Findlay’s style of basketball all season, and holding a number one in the air afterwards had become somewhat of a trademark for the Falcons. The Falcons jumped out to a 12 point lead early in the first quarter as Rob Mowry, Eric Smith and Shanon Cloyd took control of the game. Now 28-0 Findlay plays the winner in tonight’s Tuscola-Chrisman match-up on Friday in Tuscola.
