Oregon, Wis.-based One Community Bank will sponsor the block party for the 71st annual Sun Prairie (Wis.) Sweet Corn Festival from Aug. 14-18. Following the parade on Aug. 14, the block party on historic Main Street will showcase local cover band The Dirty Birds.
“Corn Fest is not possible without the support of our business community,” said Christina Williams, executive director of Sun Prairie’s Chamber of Commerce. “One Community Bank’s sponsorship of the Corn Fest block party plays a crucial role in bringing our community together, enhancing the festival experience, and supporting local culture and tradition.”
As one of south-central Wisconsin’s largest community banks, OCB serves 15 communities including Sun Prairie. In March, OCB opened a branch in Cottage Grove, Minn.
“One Community Bank is honored to be a sponsor of Sun Prairie Corn Fest 2024,” said Vice President and Commercial Banking Officer Kelsey Hudson. “This festival embodies our dedication to our clients, colleagues and communities. Supporting Corn Fest allows us to contribute to a wonderful event that brings people together and makes a meaningful impact in our Sun Prairie community.”
Following the conclusion of the festival, proceeds will be shared among several civic organizations — whose members volunteered thousands of hours — for reinvestment into programs and services to benefit youth, veterans, the elderly and the community as a whole.
