Josiah Hoeffner and Trinidy Strong

PRAIRIE?CITY?- And the winners are …Trinidy Strong, Josiah Hoeffner and Ani Mercer.

Those were the names drawn by Andie Moles, manager of Bank of Eastern Oregon’s Prairie City branch, in the bank’s recent backpack drawing.

The three Prairie City students won new backpacks filled to the top with new school supplies.

All BEO branches are holding similar drawings, giving away one to five backpacks at each branch and/or donating the supplies they purchased and collected from staff and customers to the school.

Bank of Eastern Oregon plans to make this an annual event.
