SNBT Celebrates 140th Anniversary
MARINETTE—The Stephenson
National Bank & Trust celebrated
its 140th anniversary with an open
house. “This is a monumental
anniversary,” said Daniel Peterson,
SNBT president and CEO. “Not only
does it mark our 140th [year] but it
is also our first anniversary that we
can share with our five new banking
offices in Marinette County.”
The merger between The Ste-
phenson National Bank & Trust
and Bank North was finalized on
Oct. 27. The merger added five
new offices and 6,700 new bank
customers.
Refreshments were served at all
eight banking offices in Amberg,
Crivitz Downtown, Crivitz Piggly
Wiggly, Marinette, Menominee,
Oconto, Pembine, and Wausaukee.
Peoples State Bank Celebrates Centennial
Peoples State Bank, Prairie du
Chien, marked its centennial with
a late afternoon open house at the
Dousman House in October. Com-
munity Bankers of Wisconsin and

sented commemorative plaques in

versary. PSB serves customers at 14

Waumandee State Bank Celebrates Centennial
Waumandee State Bank cele-
brated its 100th anniversary with an
open house at its seven locations—
Waumandee, Arcadia, Fountain
City, Durand, Mondovi, Black River
Falls, and Whitehall. The events fea-
tured giveaways, snacks, beverages,
and, of course, birthday cake!
Bank employees created a 100th
anniversary float that appeared in
eight parades last summer. “We
try to do the parades that are in all
of the towns that currently have a
branch [or customers],” explained
Donna Rotering, retail operations
and marketing director.
“It gets to be a full summer and
the weeks fly by,” she said. “Our
employees are willing to walk along
and hand out candy and other items
to the crowds …We do the parades
every year, but the cake was special
for our 100th anniversary.”
