Area residents and businesses are invited to the Community Appreciation Day celebration on Friday, Sept. 17, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Bluffton office located at 102 S. Main St. Free pulled pork sandwiches, brats and more will be served. Attendees may enter to win the grand prize, which will be on display, or one of six $25 gas gift certificates.

The celebration is a way for Citizens National Bank to thank the Bluffton community for their contribution to our success.

"As the first location of our bank, Bluffton represents everything we strive to achieve by being a community bank. We've developed relationships with our customers that in many cases have continued for generations. We appreciate the trust the community puts in us for their deposit and loan needs. This celebration is a small way for us to show our appreciation for this community," says J. Michael Romey, CNB President/CEO.

With offices in Bluffton, Celina, Elida, Findlay, Lima, Springfield and Van Wert, Citizens National Bank has assets totaling more than $565 million and has been serving the communities of West Central Ohio since 1920.
