First International Bank & Trust at 1600 S. Broadway had a great turnout with live remote coverage last Tuesday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. celebrating its customer appreciation day.

Denise Larson, Public Relations, said an approximate count for the annual event was 475 customers and community members in attendance

The South Broadway location in Minot had a complimentary catered lunch of pulled pork sandwiches, hotdogs, pasta salad, cookies, chips and snow cones. The weather was perfect.

Kids enjoyed the bounce castles, face painting, Dizzy the Clown and shaved ice provided by Backyard Bounce Inflatables N’ More.

This is an annual event that First International Bank & Trust puts on every June for customers, the community and in recognition of employees.

“There were a lot of smiles from the kids and adults too,” said Larson. “We put this event on each year because we appreciate our customers and want to give back to the community that supports us.

The shaved ice and face painting were a hit and kids were able to go home with bubble wands, balloon animals and sunglasses.

“It was a great event enjoyed by people of every age,” said Larsen.
