Even though the weather was a little less than perfect last Friday afternoon, that didn’t stop customers from stopping by our branch offices to enjoy a Hot Dog and Soda at our 15th Annual Hot Dog Day celebrating First Savings’ 89th Anniversary.
According to the Official Hot Dog Meter, 999 of the tasty morsels were devoured during the three hours of serving! That works out to be 333 per hour and 5.55 dogs per minute…pretty impressive!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello and mark you calendars for next year’s special 90th Anniversary Hot Dog Day on Friday June 22, 2012…we’re planning some extras to mark the occasion!

Mark your calendar!
For the fifteenth consecutive year, customers of First Savings are invited to have a hot dog and soda on Friday, June 24 in celebration of the bank’s anniversary. “This is just a small token of appreciation to our customers,” said Fred Schea, president and chief executive officer of the bank. “We’re very fortunate to have such a large base of loyal customers in the communities that we serve, and this is an opportunity to thank them for the trust and confidence that they have shown us.”
The free hotdogs and beverages will be available at all ten bank branch locations of First Savings and will be prepared and served by bank officers and staff members from 3:00p.m. to 6:00p.m. “Our annual Hot Dog Day is just one way our staff comes together with management to interact and thank all of our customers.” Founded on June 22, 1922, this year marks the financial institution’s 89th anniversary.
