Village Bank returns as Presenting Sponsor

By Stephen Lock For the Ashland

Village Bank is proud to once again be the Presenting Sponsor of the annual Ashland Strawberry Faire held on June 3rd at RandolphMacon College. A local community bank serving the greater Richmond area, Village Bank, is dedicated to supporting the neighbors and organizations of Ashland, Hanover County, and other surrounding areas.

Leading the charge at the Sliding Hill branch, located on 10035 Sliding Hill Road, is Mark Halstead. Mark has served Village Bank customers for over 5 years and just recently transitioned to his role as Branch Manager.

“Supporting a community focused event like Ashland Strawberry Faire makes as much sense as peanut butter and strawberry jelly” says Mark. “The faire is a perfect example of neighbors coming together to support our students and local non-profits. Village Bank is focused on providing personal customer ser- vice to our communities and investing in local organizations that build our local economy. The Ashland Strawberry Faire does just that.”

This year, Village Bank is ripe with new ideas for engaging those that attend the event. As Stephen Lock, their Community Engagement Manager puts it, “We are looking forward to providing fun and interactive activities for children while providing some sweet ideas for adults of all ages. Stop by our tent located on the corner of E. Patrick and Henry Street for a berry good time.”
