In Pewaukee, North Shore Bank’s Taste of Lake Country roared back on July 30 and 31, after taking last year off due to the global pandemic. “Area folks were ready for good food and music,” branch manager Anne Kagerah said. “It was like covid never happened. However, we did spread out the food booths farther than normal for social distancing.”

Our tent on the beach offered high-top tables with charging stations for attendees’ mobile devices, as well as elegant white couches circling a coffee table that held a giant branded Jenga game. “We also had giant Connect 4, which was popular with the young and old,” Anne said.

The bank also held a Tasty Giveaway in conjunction with the event, giving community members the chance to win $300 in gift cards for the local restaurants participating in Taste of Lake Country.

Ann noted that putting together this big, popular event took a lot of hands and thanked VP marketing Kate Johnson, marketing communications manager Kate Knox, and the rest of the Marketing department, as well as SVP retail banking Sue Doyle, for all their work making Taste of Lake Country wonderful for customers and other Pewaukee residents. Positively Pewaukee and the NEWaukee agency also contributed essential components. And employee volunteers included Cristen Baumann, Milene Below, Angela Byrd, Jordan Daul, Erika Garcia, Ray Guardiola, Erica Hughes, Megan Kubichek, Anna Levine, Farrah Mason, Colleen Moore, and Sonnee Tobias, as well as family members and friends.
