Farmers Bank in Mount Pulaski to celebrate Community Banking Week

[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.

On Tuesday, April 9th between 11 am and 1:30 pm, stop by and give “what’s in your heart” at our Central Illinois Community Blood Center Blood Drive. Everyone who gives blood (or attempts to give blood) will be entered into a drawing for a prize basket.

Join us on Friday, April 12th for our final event, a Community Appreciation Cookout from 4 pm until 6 pm for FREE pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs, chips, cookie, and drink.

Winners for the coloring contest, how many contest, food donation drawing and blood drive drawing will be announced on Monday, April 15th.
