Kiss the Pig for a cause!

Ya gotta love a small town…  where would two local bank executives be willing to Kiss a Pig for a Cause? Of course, Northfield. Community Resource Bank’s Denny Hanson and First National Bank’s Rick Estenson loaned their lips for a friendly competition to support the Community Action Center during March Food Shelf Month. The two local banks competed to see who could raise the most pounds of food and dollars for the food shelf. The bank who raised the most would have one of their execs kiss a pig. It was a very close competition but they ended in a virtual tie!  Not only did the pair kiss the pig but outgoing CAC Director, Jim Blaha, did too. Collectively they raised $4,000 and over 1,500 pounds of food. A large crowd gathered for the event. Blaha distributed toothbrushes and mouthwash for Hanson and Estenson and rumor has it there was some chapstick around too! Mike Peterson of Peterson Equipment and Welding brought the pigs!
