Peoples Bank is proud to announce the winners to our 2016 Christmas Card Contest. We had hundreds of entries from Simpson, Smith, Rankin and Covington counties that participated this year. A reception was held at Peoples Bank in Magee on November 30th to honor the winners and their families. Each winner was presented a framed copy of their artwork and an award medal.
Congratulations to our overall winner, Triestan Valdez. Triestan is the 11 year old son of Daniel and Jhuls Evans of Mt. Olive. He attends 5th grade at Mt. Olive Elementary School and enjoys reading, sketching and playing video games in his free time.
Triestan received a $100 savings account and his drawing will be featured on the cover of Peoples Bank’s annual Christmas Greeting Card.
