MINERAL WELLS, WV (Sept. 24, 2015) - Peoples Bancorp Foundation, a non-profit corporation formed to make donations in Peoples Bank market areas, recently awarded $2,500 to the West Virginia Interstate Fair & Exposition for the expansion of the fairground's 4-H hog barn.
'4-H is often a life-changing educational organization for youth. It grows confident, capable, and caring kids with the life skills to thrive and succeed,' said Elysia Taylor, Peoples Bank Assistant Vice President West Virginia District Manager. 'Events like the West Virginia Interstate Fair & Exposition provide a local outlet for 4-H students to shine. We're pleased to help expand the event's space and offerings.'
The West Virginia Interstate Fair & Exposition takes places mid-July each year at the 4-H Fairgrounds located on Butcher Bend Road in Mineral Wells. The event features 4-H exhibits, contests, professional entertainment, track events, livestock exhibits, carnival, and more.
Peoples Bancorp Foundation contributions focus on charitable giving in four major areas: community investment and economic development, youth and education, human services programs that improve the social needs of low- to moderate-income communities and individuals, and the arts and cultures. Organizations receiving grants meet those requirements and serve the markets where Peoples Bank currently has office locations.
