Farmers Bank & Trust, in partnership with the City of Benton, recently unveiled a new mobile music stage to enhance the experience at city-hosted events throughout the year. The stage made its debut at last week’s Third Thursday Street Festival, a downtown favorite featuring live music, local vendors, and family-friendly fun.
Aurora the Band was the first to perform on the stage, playing to a crowd of more than 5,000 attendees. The new stage helped elevate the event’s atmosphere and gave festivalgoers a taste of what’s to come at future city celebrations.
The stage will continue to serve as a centerpiece at upcoming community events, helping bring residents together and amplify the local entertainment scene.
“We’re excited to play a small part in bringing people together in Benton,” said Kent McClure, Farmers Bank & Trust Saline County Market President. “We’re proud to invest in the places where our customers and employees live, work, and celebrate life.”
“The City is thankful to Farmers Bank & Trust for the music stage partnership,” said Matt Thibault, City of Benton Marketing and Special Events Director. “Without Farmers Bank & Trust, this idea of bringing a world-class performance venue to the citizens of Benton would not be possible. Folks from around our city and county will be able to enjoy quality entertainment at all our city events for years to come. We couldn’t be prouder.”
With full-service locations in Haskell and Bryant on Highway 5, Farmers Bank & Trust remains dedicated to building strong relationships across Saline County. This initiative is one of many ways the Bank supports the communities it calls home.
