A great North Shore Bank crew showed up to make Wagfest in Brookfield a huge success. Thousands of dog owners and people who love dogs came to the festival at Mitchell Park on Saturday.

“We were blessed to have beautiful weather for Wagfest! Thousands of dogs visited with their owners. It was a pleasure speaking to several customers and also meeting potential customers,” Cristen Baumann, Vice President and Community Engagement Manager, said.

She said the response from Wagfest attendees at the bank’s booth was fantastic. People appreciated the bank’s sponsorship of this event, which raises money for the Elmbrook Humane Society.

“One person shared, ‘I am going to tell everyone that my bank is in the community and supports animals finding homes,'” Cristen said. Many customers shared their love of the bank and gave shout-outs to the employees.

Great job, North Shore team!
