FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Shelbyville, IN – The City of Shelbyville is pleased to announce the unveiling of the Community Gaming Corner, a vibrant and interactive addition to the historic downtown square. This engaging outdoor space is designed to foster connection, encourage strategic play, and provide a welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike.
The Community Gaming Corner is the result of a visionary project spearheaded by the 2025 class of Leadership Shelby County, the signature leadership program of the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce. Developed through dedicated design efforts, extensive fundraising, and the hard work of local volunteers, this initiative reflects the community’s commitment to creating public spaces that bring people together.
Strategically located in the heart of downtown, the Community Gaming Corner features beautifully designed tables and seating, offering a dedicated space for board games, strategy games, and friendly competition. The space is free and accessible to all, including a handicap-accessible table designed for wheelchair users, ensuring inclusivity in community engagement.
The concept for the Community Gaming Corner was born from the passion and dedication of Leadership Shelby County participants, who collaborated with local sponsors to bring this project to life. This year’s team—Amy Bishopp, James Caputo, Will Hall, Sam Huelskamp, Raul Islas, Ricca Macklin, and Regan Noah—envisioned a space that not only promotes recreational play but also enriches Shelbyville’s sense of community.
The City of Shelbyville and Shelby County Chamber of Commerce invite residents and visitors to celebrate the official opening of the Community Gaming Corner by attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, 2025, in the southeast quadrant of the Shelbyville downtown square.
