[April 10, 2019]  

April 7th through the 13th is the 29th Anniversary of Community Banking Week in Illinois. This year’s theme is “Sharing Your Dreams”. Community banks like us are inviting our friends, our neighbors, to help us celebrate the independent spirit that is the hallmark of locally run banks.


During Community Banking Week, The Farmers Bank of Mt Pulaski will be hosting numerous events. There will be giveaways, refreshments, and activities for everyone’s participation. The lobby will be decorated with entries to our coloring contest, stop in and vote for your favorite. Coloring entries (for ages Preschool to fourth grade) are available at the main bank and must be returned by March 29th.

Some other activities planned for throughout the week include a guess how many jelly beans are in the jar, refreshments, and a food drive for the Mt Pulaski Community Children’s Summer Food Program. Anyone who brings in a food donation or monetary donation for the food drive will be entered into a drawing for a prize basket.
