Arizona Tribune - Taylor Bank Celebrates 135 Years with 'Hot Summer Swing'; Announces 2025 For Good Grant Recipients

"The 'Hot Summer Swing and Taylor Bank Cheers to 135 Years' celebration was a testament to the incredible bond between our bank and the community we've proudly served since 1890," said M. Dean Lewis, Chief Executive Officer and President of Taylor Bank. "As we honor our history and look toward the future, we are deeply grateful for all of our customers, team members, and the greater community, who helped make this milestone possible."

The celebration honored the loyal customers and close-knit community that have been the cornerstone of Taylor Bank's success since its founding in 1890. Guests enjoyed lively entertainment from the Gatsby Gang Band, hourly prize giveaways featuring themed gift baskets showcasing each of Taylor Bank's markets on the Delmarva Peninsula, and a grand prize drawing of $1,135 awarded to one lucky attendee at the conclusion of the event.

Families delighted in attractions like a bounce house and a stilt walker, while local food and drink vendors provided delicious refreshments. Guests also had the opportunity to tour bank's headquarters and original branch. During an intermission, local attorney, author and past Taylor Bank Board Member, Joe Moore, captivated the audience with stories about the bank's rich history. The celebration was enriched by the presence of public officials, who joined in recognizing Taylor Bank's milestone anniversary with proclamations and words of appreciation.
