Celebrating Community & Supporting Positive Projects
More than a hashtag.
So much more than a tagline.
Pulaski County Tribe (PCT) is grateful for the success of our first Stay & Play in Pulaski County fundraiser, hosted on October 11th at the Knights of Columbus in Winamac. This event extended our ongoing Play in Pulaski County efforts, celebrating ways to engage with our community while raising funds for local initiatives.
A Night Fueled by Community Spirit
This event was a testament to Pulaski County’s spirit. Neighbors, visitors, businesses, and organizations came together to turn VIP table purchases, auction bids, and raffle tickets into meaningful investments to enhance our community. .
