MMH croquet court could use some local TLC

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 15, 2015 - 1:22pm

The Mennonite Memorial Home’s croquet court, located at 410 W. Elm St., Bluffton, needs some tender loving care.

The court, located behind MMH was developed for use by Home residents and members of the community. For several years the court was used on a regular basis.

Play on the court has diminished in recent years, but is available if a group of serious croquet players have an interest in rejuvenating it.
