Just like June and July, August was a busy month for the branches at First Farmers. Here are just a few of the things we were doing!

Greentown Attends Annual Eastern School Corporation Benefits Fair
As in years past, Joyce Flick and Jodi Cecil attended the annual Eastern Benefits Fair. This fair is held by the school corporation and local businesses are invited to share information with teachers that may be new to the area or looking for great deals. This year, FFBT decided to hold a drawing. Throughout the school day, the office drew tickets and the teachers with the winning ticket numbers were able to take home a prize. FFBT enjoys attending this event each year because they are able to meet with teachers one on one and talk about banking with FFBT or banking in general. They appreciate the willingness of Eastern's School Corporation to invite them in order to help the teachers in the Greentown community.
Converse Homecoming Days a Success
For the past few weeks, the Converse branch of First Farmers had been planning their float to correspond with this year's "Under the Big Top" parade. Lori Wilson, Becky Campbell, Carrie Minns, and Patty Garvin stayed up late the night before the parade to finish decorating their float. Their work paid off as they were awarded best float in the parade! During the parade, they passed out pencils and candy to the kids on the sides and passed out popcorn after the parade. For pictures of the event, please see our "Converse Homecoming Days" album on our Facebook Business Page.
