We are so excited about the Durham Home of Crawfordsville's Through the Wicket Croquet Tournament this Saturday! They are graciously directing all proceeds to their newly-established fund at MCCF, which allows local child care providers to assist families with tuition costs.

Spectator tickets are still available- you might even spot a few of our staff members competing, too! See more info below.

Intimidated by croquet players like THIS?? 🫣

No Worries! You can RELAX as a ✨Spectator✨ at this Saturday's 2026 "Through the Wicket" Croquet Tournament!

$25 gets you in to enjoy fabulous refreshments from The Juniper Spoon & Tipsy Traveler, easy-peasy lawn games, rides in a Model T Ford, down time in the shade with friends, and more. Take up the opportunity to dress up vintage garden party style - or come casual!

Every dollar from event ticket sales and sponsorships will go to Durham Foundation's Community Childcare Assistance Pass-Through Fund at the Montgomery County Community Foundation.

UPDATE! To attend & pay as a spectator, just stop at the event entry tent behind Durham Home, 215 W. Main St. We take checks and Venmo 👍🏽

Hope to see you Saturday!

Motherhood is an exciting journey, but it also comes with challenges and questions. To help support local mothers, a Montgomery County Moms and Babies Group has been formed and will meet for the very first time this Wednesday, August 26 from 10:00-11:00 a.m. at Crawfordsville Parks and Recreation.

Mothers are welcome to bring their little ones with them. Organizers will spend a few minutes highlighting some helpful resources available to families while leaving plenty of time to chat, play, and connect.

If you can’t make the first gathering, the group will plan to meet on the last Wednesday of every month. This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to learn and grow together, and we’re excited to see where it goes!
