ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  PAUL DELLINGER/Staff. Businesses, churches and civic 
          groups pitched in to make sure everybody who wanted a piece of 
          birthday cake got one Saturday during the celebration of the 100th 
          birthday of the Pulaski County Courthouse. Food, music and vendors 
          lined the section of Main Street by the courthouse for the annual 
          Count Pulaski Day Festival. The celebration had a special interest 
          this year because of recent speculation that the bones of 
          Revolutionary War hero Count Casimir Pulaski, who joined the 
          Colonists and gave his life in their fight against England, had been
          uncovered in Savannah, Ga. Juggling clowns, Smokey Bear and other 
          costumed characters performed during the day for the crowds. color.
