April 21, 2015, was the most beautiful spring day to welcome customers and local patrons to the Grand Opening of our new Alliance Bank branch in Oran, Missouri. Being located directly on Highway W, it was very easy to see the excitement. Taking a trip back in time with an Old West Chuck Wagon (on the front parking lot) was definitely an eye-catcher. Lunch and door prizes were offered from 11 am – 1 pm.

Chuck Wagon

Many thanks go to Julie and Vince Draper, Wayne and Duzy Wiedefeld, and Sam Bailey for bringing the Chuck Wagon and making their famous “cowboy stew” (Yum Yum). It was neat to be able to show how food was prepared on the old west trails. In addition, custom-made brats cooked by David Gelsheimer (owner of David’s Food Mart) were very tasty as well.

Preparing food

The Alliance Bank staff greeted over 250 customers and were happy to show off their new facility. We invite everyone to stop by and see us at 1516 State Hwy. W (on the west side of town). Thanks to everyone involved with our Grand Opening.
