GREENFIELD — The Hancock County Community Foundation recently awarded the Hancock County Historical Society a grant from the Connecting Community Fund, a component fund of HCCF. The $1,000 grant allowed the Historical Society to bring the Sammy Terry Show to the HJ Ricks Centre for the Performing Arts in Greenfield.
The event took place on Oct. 6, and the evening of listening to the Sammy Terry character reminisce about his TV run included a costume contest and a viewing of the 1968 classic, “Night of the Living Dead” movie.
Created by HCCF, the Connecting Community Fund is a fund that provides support to opportunities that encourage residents to meet each other, socialize, and enjoy nature in public places.

HCCF provides philanthropic leadership by encouraging giving, learning, community pride and civic engagement. Working with caring individuals, families, and organizations to create or grow existing permanent endowment funds is critical to the organization’s mission. These funds generate income that is distributed in the form of grants and scholarships to enrich and enhance life in Hancock County, as well as support the donor’s favorite charitable causes, both at home and afar forever. HCCF has granted more than $14 million since its inception in 1992.
