Wabash County invests in its people.  Come see how Wabash is putting people at the center of their remote worker program.

We were lucky enough to spend a couple days in Wabash County and we saw firsthand how much this community wraps its arms around its residents. Chatting with Addie at The Montessori School at WPC, we learned that the county is investing in early childhood education. Meeting up with young professionals at Modoc’s, a local coffee shop that pays homage to an elephant that escaped the circus, we learned that leadership development is top of mind (and a program benefit!).

We also learned that they invest in their local parks, like Friendship Hill, one of the largest inclusive playgrounds in the Midwest. They also are creating more opportunities to get outside, like the Wabash River Trail that runs from Wabash to Lagro.


And as if this wasn’t enough, they’re even investing money in early scholarship funds for kids. As part of the Early Award Scholarship Program, every student in 4th-8th grade who attends school in Wabash County has the opportunity to earn up to $1,000 for doing their homework in math, reading and language arts, and for completing college prep activities.

Driving around the county, you can feel that these communities are listening to their residents and creating spaces for learning, recreation, arts and entertainment, and family and friends. Best of all? They’re welcoming you to be a part of it!

Two elegant coupe cocktails with deep red liquid, black bat garnishes, and decorated rims, evoking a festive Halloween vibe.

The image features two elegant cocktails in coupe glasses, filled with a deep red liquid. Each glass has a decorative rim, likely coated with black sugar or salt, enhancing the dark aesthetic. Both drinks are garnished with a black bat-shaped decoration and a cherry on a skewer, adding to a festive or thematic touch.

The overall presentation invokes a playful yet slightly eerie atmosphere, reminiscent of Halloween or themed parties. The rich colors and unique garnishes suggest a sense of celebration, possibly hinting at fun and creativity. Emotions elicited by this image might include excitement, intrigue, and a hint of spookiness, making it appealing for gatherings or social events.
