Arrow Head Country RC&D awarded grant funds to the Pulaski County Tribe to support various projects that support their mission.
The Pulaski County Tribe (PCT) has been awarded a $2,500 grant for the continuation of the Art in the Park project. The grant funds were presented to members of PCT on March 23, 2023. In 2021 Pulaski County Tribe initiated a multi-phase community enhancement effort to revitalize the area on the west side of the swinging bridge at the Winamac Town Park.
Phase one included aesthetic improvements to the historic artesian well structure, installation of an interpretive sign featuring the history of the artesian well and the installation of two bench swings. The installation of permanent art exhibits, a free public event featuring hands-on activities and highlighting newly installed artwork, placement of two small murals on the fence of the pickleball court, and plants along the pickleball court fence, around trees and around one of the bench swings are all part of the first phase.
PCT is now ready to pursue phase two efforts to continue enhancing the area for the enjoyment of Pulaski County community members and guests. Enhancement efforts include the cultivation of a pollinator garden, tree planting and the incorporation of art components.
