Wabash County, IN – Grow Wabash County and the Fort Wayne Komets invite the Wabash County community to be the MVPs at the Fort Wayne Komets game on Friday, March 8 for Wabash County Night.
As one of the Komets’ dedicated “community nights,” hockey fans are encouraged to show up
and celebrate Wabash County while also rooting for the Komets as they take on the Wheeling
Nailers.
“The Komets have always had strong support from communities outside of the city of Fort
Wayne,” Mitch Meinholz, director of sales and events for the Fort Wayne Komets, said. “The
Wabash area is definitely one of them. Working with Grow Wabash County and Mayor Long
over the years to have a consistent night out that the community can be a part of is something
folks look forward to every season now. We’re always happy to be that avenue to bring
everyone together for some fun!”
As part of the night’s festivities, local leaders will join the players and Grow Wabash County on
the ice for the ceremonial puck drop to kick-off the game. Wabash County will also be
spotlighted throughout the game, with Wabash County citizens featured during the various
games and events that make the Komets games such a fun night out for everyone.
“Wabash County Night has become a beloved tradition between the Komets and Wabash
County,” Chelsea Parson, development and marketing project manager, said. “This event is a
great way for us to spotlight the peoples, places and projects that make Wabash County so
special. It is our opportunity to showcase our community for the rest of the northeast Indiana
region and state of Indiana to celebrate and enjoy.”
Wabash County Night at the Komets will be on Friday, March 8, at the Allen County War
Memorial Coliseum, 4000 Parnell Avenue, Fort Wayne. Game time is 8 p.m.
In addition to being in the spotlight during the game, Wabash County businesses and
