State Bank of Lizton Zionsville Branch Opens Its Doors to Guests With Grand Opening Celebration
“State Bank of Lizton is a community bank that places great emphasis on personal relationships,” said Rhonda Wiles, Assistant Vice President in charge of Marketing and Community Relations for State Bank of Lizton. “We wanted this Grand Opening celebration to reflect who we are and the value we place on our customers.” Warm homemade cookies, baked by Zionsville branch employees, hot dogs, drinks, and foods from local businesses were also a hit with visitors. The Village Bakery at 40 W. Pine St. provided flaky pastries to be washed down with organic white and chocolate milk from Traders Point Creamery. Radio Disney was on hand to host “It’s Time for Talent,” a karaoke contest for kids 14 and under. Contestants stepped up to the microphone to sing hits from “High School Musical 2.” The winner of the contest, Jane Albers,13, is in 7th grade at Summit Academy. Her parents are Greg and Susan Albers of Zionsville. Albers is now entered in Radio Disney’s national contest to win a trip to New York with tickets to “High School Musical: The Ice Show” at Madison Square Garden.

This sentiment is echoed by branch manager, Monnett, “ At State Bank of Lizton, you’ll never be just a number.” Monnett and the rest of the staff at the Zionsville branch invite the community to stop in and take a tour of the new facility and enjoy a cup of coffee from the gourmet coffee bar.
