Program Summary:

We will host our 10th Annual Community Bank, North Mississippi Fashion Show in November 2017. This event was started ten years ago as our way of encouraging local shoppers to shop local. In the economic downturn of 2007, it was crucial to the survival of our small businesses that our town support them.

The annual event, hosted at our Indianola, MS office, is free of charge to the public and draws hundreds in attendance each year. The event is hosted in mid-November as a kick-start to the holiday shopping season for our local merchants and restaurants. We have around 50 models per store, who each purchase their outfit from the store – so that alone is a great boost to the local economy.

We feel that as long as our merchants and restaurants want to do this, Community Bank will continue to host this special event. The local people are very supportive and look forward to coming and enjoying an evening of wonderful entertainment, great fashion, and gift ideas and most importantly, shopping local.
