Q&A with MCCF Board Member Leigh Wright

“Miami County has so much to offer, but what I love most is the people. In a larger community, it can be difficult to see the fruits of your labor, but in Miami County you’re helping your neighbor, a classmate, or a co-worker, and that ignites a unique feeling of connections that only comes with living in a small town.” – Leigh Wright.   Read More

Why the blue?

The blue portion of the Community Foundation flower represents the circus tents of Miami County’s city of Peru, known as the “Circus Capital of the World.” Miami County’s circus history dates back to the late 19th century. By the 1920s, Peru was known as “Circus City.” The International Circus Hall of Fame is located there, and the town hosts a Circus City Festival and Parade each summer. The festival is put on by the Peru Amateur Circus, which is made up of performers ages 7 to 21.

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to work in the community that I call home. I am looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish working together to make Miami County a better place to live!”
