Our Fun Fortress Friday came with a sweet surprise last month!

Our Western Il team enjoyed some amazing pancake treats from Sips & Stacks last Friday - a local mobile cart business owned by Breanna, who recently turned her side hustle into a full-time dream. We love using Fun Friday to celebrate our team while supporting local entrepreneurs, and we’re excited to have Sips & Stacks joining us as a vendor at Community Commerce Day in just a couple weeks!

From lemonade stands to future empires, our young entrepreneurs brought their big ideas to life through Fortress Bank’s Dream Business Idea Contest. We loved seeing the kids’ creative and sweet business creations! Congratulations to Nauvoo-Colusa CSD 325 for submitting the most entries and receiving $500 to be put towards school supplies!

Random Fraud Friday is back. This week’s scam story is as random as finding a fraud lesson at the gas pump.

One thing that’s not random? Scammers constantly looking for ways to catch people off guard.

Watch, learn, and help protect yourself from fraud

Welcome to Random Fraud Friday — where we share real fraud stories from random locations to help you spot scams before they spot you!

A sweet start to Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎💐

Our team delivered goodies to local school districts in the Carthage area this morning as a small thank-you to the educators and staff who make a difference every day.

We were also excited to celebrate National Small Business Week by supporting two amazing local bakers: Deann Twaddle Waddell and Sara’s Sweet & Savory, LLC, who helped make today extra special with cookies, flower treats, and muffins. We love opportunities to celebrate the people and small businesses that help our communities thrive. Thank you to all of our educators—and to the local businesses who helped make this gesture one to remember!
