In celebration of The Farmers Bank’s 150th anniversary, The Farmers Bank Charitable Foundation is inviting the community to enjoy a FREE day at Sapphire Bay Aquatic Center on Monday, September 7, 2026, from noon to 6 p.m.
The Foundation will cover admission for guests throughout the day as a special thank-you to the community that has supported The Farmers Bank for a century and a half.
Located at 1 Bob Sanders Drive in TPA Park in Frankfort, Sapphire Bay Aquatic Center offers something for the whole family, including three water slides, a lazy river, a zero-entry area and more.
“Generations of Clinton County residents have trusted The Farmers Bank, worked alongside us and helped make our bank part of the fabric of this community,” said Chris Cook, President and Chairman of The Farmers Bank Charitable Foundation. “For 150 years, the people of Frankfort and Clinton County have banked with us and supported us, and this is one small way we can say thank you. We hope families from across the county will come together, enjoy Sapphire Bay and help us celebrate this incredible milestone.”
