As we prepare to celebrate America's 250th anniversary in less than a month, we're looking back at Mt. Pleasant's 4th of July Celebration sixty years ago in 1966. That year the schedule included concerts, a street dance, junior and senior horse shows, a beauty contest, and, of course, a parade to kick off the festivities.

Did you know? Miller Lumber Company has been in business for more than 100 years and at one time provided funeral services (since they had the lumber to build coffins) as well. The company's horses, Belle and Prince, did double duty - dragging logs or pulling a hearse - depending on what was needed.
