Viehwey and about two dozen other people involved with the Hancock County Community Foundation traveled the county by bus on Friday to visit with community leaders and learn about their town’s unique histories.

The “Community Plunge” bus tour celebrates the recipients of the foundation’s Celebrating Communities grants, which aim to make Hancock County a better place to work, live and play.

The bus full of donors and board members traveled to seven locations in the county where Celebrating Communities grants were received and used for local improvements, from bike racks in New Palestine to history panels on the Pennsy Trail in Greenfield.

The community plunge is a great way to see the pride Hancock County communities take in their towns and what they have to offer, said Viehwey.
