Paynesville Popcorn sponsorship

At Perennial Bank, we’re proud to support Paynesville Area Schools in a fun and memorable way, by sponsoring all the popcorn and bags for most sporting events throughout the year! It’s our way of cheering on the Bulldogs and giving back to the students, families, and fans who make our community so special. Whether it’s Friday night under the lights or a big game in the gym, we’re honored to be part of the hometown spirit that brings everyone together.
