Being the first year Bank of Prairie du Sac served as a host bank for the American Bankers Association's (ABA's) video contest for teens, we were delighted to receive quality submissions and look forward to continuing to expand on  this and other financial literacy efforts in the future.

As the winner of our local competition, Tamara's video advances to American Bankers Association (ABA) for the video contest's second round and national competition. Good luck!
