Giving back to the community

Western State Bank celebrated Customer Appreciation Week on July 7-11, with special events and activities going on throughout the week at their two Thirteenth Avenue locations.

Pictured above, Tyler Lies, 7, of West Fargo, had fun bouncing and jostling around inside one of the inflated entertainment games from Games-2-Go on Thursday.

Bank employees donated their jeans day proceeds to the Great Plains Food Bank, and German Club students from West Fargo High School held a free-will donation car wash in the parking lot on Friday.
