                HONORING ELK RIVER'S FIRST NATIONAL BANK

                                  _____
                                 

                             HON. TOM EMMER

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 23, 2017

  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate First National Bank 
in Elk River, for receiving a PACE Business Award from the Elk River 
Chamber of Commerce.
  Each year the chamber awards businesses in the area who have excelled 
in the private sector, and this year First National Bank received the 
prestigious Business of the Year Award. This award could not have gone 
to a more deserving business.
  As time passes, businesses come and go, but not the First National 
Bank. This family run business has been serving Minnesotans for an 
astonishing one hundred and fifteen years.
  The key to their success has not only been their wonderful customer 
service, but their ability to adapt. They constantly offer the most up 
to date services so that their customers remain happy and loyal.
  I want to congratulate First National Bank for this incredible honor, 
and I wish them nothing but success in 2017.
