NSSB donates $10,000 to Putnam County Fairgrounds
As the Putnam County Fair was winding down last month, the North Salem State Bank (NSSB) presented a $10,000 charitable contribution to the Putnam County 4-H Fairgrounds.
Of this, $2,750.00 of the contribution was used to sponsor the Wall of Champions banners that can be seen hanging in the swine barn, allowing $7,250.00 to be used for various upgrades to the livestock barns at the fairgrounds, and ag-related items to be purchased to benefit the 4-H’ers of Putnam County.
“As we celebrate our 100th anniversary, we are fortunate to have such a strong agricultural connection to Putnam County and to be able to give back to a program that is instrumental in the future success of the next generation of 4-H’ers in our community,” NSSB President and CEO Matt Howrey said. “We are proud to have supported the Putnam County Fair and 4-H for many years and hope that the partnership continues for the next 100 years.”
This donation is the fourth of 10 $10,000 charitable contributions NSSB has committed to giving the communities it serves and supports, as one way to celebrate its centennial year.
