2018 Knox County Junior Fair Sale Update

| rees.139

An exciting change is coming for our youth exhibitors in relation to our 2018 Junior Fair Sale.  First Knox is wanting to establish a direct deposit option for our junior fair exhibitors.  During each of our five quality assurance sessions, First Knox employees will be present to assist our youth in getting this option secured for them.  There are specific pieces of information that the exhibitors will need to provide.  First Knox is in the process of developing a form that can be filled out and delivered to them at one of the QA sessions.  If a member does not have an account set up at a bank, they will be able to open an account at that time too.

Some things to keep in mind:

  • The account has to have the exhibitors name on it (not just a parent or guardian).
  • It does not have to be an account with First Knox (any bank will work).

Please look for more information and details closer to our first QA on March 8 at East Knox.
