LAKE IN THE HILLS, Ill. - Illinois State Bank today announced it will celebrate 10 years in business on Saturday, Sept. 16, with a day of fun activities at its Lake in the Hills branch. Festivities will include free lunch and free document shredding to ensure safe disposal of confidential information; as well as free fire engine tours, fingerprinting kits, craft projects and a magic show for kids. The day will also include a home safety clinic by Home Depot and a live radio broadcast by Star 105.5.

The celebration takes place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the branch, 1301 Pyott Road.

"We're so proud to be celebrating 10 years in McHenry County and we're looking forward to a terrific day," said Marie Smith, vice president - district manager for Illinois State Bank.

As part of the anniversary celebration, Illinois State Bank will also offer savers something they haven't seen since 1984 - a 10-percent rate of return on a one-year, $1,000 CD.
