As a sponsor for Old Town Cape, we at The Bank of Missouri feel that it is important to support downtown and all that the staff does to revitalize it. We understand that everyone can't give financially, which is why we've come up with a way that you can help us help downtown Cape.
ICBA (Independence Community Bankers of America) is currently hosting a Main Street Holiday photo contest as part of their shop local campaign. They invited community bankers from across the country to submit a photo of the downtown in their community and received hundreds of entries.
The photo that we submitted of downtown Cape was taken by bank associate Chad Johnson and portrays a night time view of Main Street decorated for the holidays with the Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge in the background - sounds pretty neat, huh? We were thrilled to find out that the photo made it all the way to the Top 5 finalists, but now we need your help in making in #1.
Please vote by liking the photo in the ICBA "Main Street Holidays Top 5 Photo Entries" photo album on Facebook (http://on.fb.me/1bURvgl). You have to be sure to open the photo and click "like" underneath the caption for the vote to count. Voting ends at 8 a.m. on Friday, December 20 and the photo with the most "likes" will win $300. If the photo of downtown Cape wins, we will of course donate it to Old Town Cape. So we need your vote to show everyone that Cape Girardeau has the best downtown - hands down!
The Bank of Missouri is proud to support local businesses and is grateful for this opportunity to draw national attention to Old Town Cape. Happy voting!
