A little volunteering, some petting zoo duty, and lots of community connections. Now that's what we call a good time at the fair!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to visit us at the Waupaca County Fair. We're proud to support and sponsor this great community tradition. ❤️

Attention followers: We need your help! 🐾📣

Today is National Dog Day, and since we're wrapping up the "dog days of summer," we thought we'd do something you probably weren't expecting to see from your bank... a pet photo contest! 😄

Our First State Bank team loves sharing photos of their pets, and let's just say there was no shortage of adorable contenders. While National Dog Day inspired the fun, we decided the dogs shouldn't get all the attention. So, we've invited our furry, feathered, and even no-legged friends to join the fun through our National Dog Day (and Pet) Photo Contest!

How to vote:
1️⃣ Scroll through the photos
2️⃣ Show some love to your favorite pets ❤️
3️⃣ Like or love their photo(s)

Voting is open through Sunday at noon. The pet with the most reactions will be crowned our champion and announced on our page on Monday, August 31!

Psst... a quick voting tip! If you see a photo shared by a friend, be sure to click back to the original contest post before voting. Only reactions on the original contest post count, and we don't want any deserving pets missing out on votes!

May the best paws win! 🏆🐾

40 YEARS of excellence. ONE remarkable team member. 🎉

Recently, we celebrated Sandy Zahn, First State Bank's Controller, on an incredible milestone: 40 years with the bank.

Over the years, Sandy has been a trusted leader and a steady force behind the scenes. Her expertise, accuracy, and commitment to excellence have helped support the financial strength of our organization and contributed to our success in countless ways. Her impact has been felt by our employees, customers, and the communities we proudly serve.

Forty years is more than a milestone. It's a legacy.

Sandy, thank you for your leadership, knowledge, and countless contributions. We are grateful for everything you've brought to First State Bank and proud to celebrate this incredible achievement with you.

We may have missed our chance for a Friday bench press competition, but we couldn’t miss the chance to celebrate this. 😉💪

Yesterday, we were honored to join the celebration of the Randy Marsh Strength & Conditioning Center and the incredible community effort that helped bring it to life.

What was once an outdated space has been transformed into a modern facility designed to give students a place to build strength, confidence, discipline, and healthy habits for years to come.

We're grateful that First State Bank could contribute to a project that will benefit local students for years to come. It's inspiring to see what can happen when a community comes together for its students.

Congratulations to the School District of New London and everyone who helped make this project possible! 💙

It's National Financial Awareness Day, so we thought it would be kinda chic to remind you about Insights, a FREE tool within Online & Mobile Banking that helps you better understand your money.

We're all for keeping up with the latest trends... especially the financial ones. 😉
