Do you really need another toaster?  Not when First National Bank and Trust Company can give you the open road!  First National Bank and Trust Company has announced an initiative that will put a 2006 Ford Mustang in the driveway of one loyal customer.  It's the Mustang sweepstakes now in place throughout First National Bank's network of ten branches from Winnebago, IL to Darien, WI.  The give-a-way demonstrates First National's strategy to acquire new relationships where they already have a dominant position in their markets.    They are the first bank in any of its five markets to create an opportunity for you to win a 2006 Ford Mustang.

"Instead of the traditional toaster or trinket, we want to exceed our customers' expectations by going the extra mile and awarding them a new car," explained CEO and President Steve Eldred.  "All they have to do is open a personal Checking Account, Money Market Account, Mortgage, or Home Equity with us and we will enter them into the sweepstakes.  As the right size community bank, we're offering our loyal customers a super size award!"

Ten finalists will be randomly drawn in December 2006.  Each will be invited to a special event that will be determined at a later date and given the opportunity to select the winning key.  One of the keys will unlock the door to the new Ford Mustang!

Would you like to see the Ford Mustang you could win?  It will make appearances throughout the year at all ten branch locations and community events such as parades and festivals.  Ask to see official rules for further details at any of First National Bank's ten locations.  You are not going to want to miss out on this opportunity!
