Pulaski County Indiana Bicentennial Torchbearers announced

15 residents join the 3,200-mile journey

Fifteen Pulaski County residents are making state history as they will be part of the Indiana Bicentennial Torchbearers this September and October. 
On June 29, torchbearers from across the state were invited to meet in Indianapolis for an unveiling of names and the torchbearer uniforms during a press conference.
Torchbearers in Pulaski County will cover more than 19 miles of both roadway and river. The route will mainly follow U.S. 35 starting south at the Cass County line and travel north to Starke County. The route will travel through Winamac, into the Winamac Town Park and onto the Tippecanoe River. 
To be considered as a torchbearer a person was first nominated by the public. Those nominations were then presented to a committee that made the torchbearer recommendations on a county-by-county basis.
