Harford Bank is inviting local dog lovers to put their pups in the spotlight with the launch of its &ldquo;Sit. Stay. Save.&rdquo; dog photo contest, a fun, community&#8209;focused campaign designed to celebrate pets and bring neighbors together.
Open to the public, not just Harford Bank customers, the contest encourages participants to stop by any Harford Bank branch to pick up a free contest tennis ball, snap a photo of their dog with the ball, and submit their entry online for a chance to be crowned Harford Bank&rsquo;s Top Dog. No purchase is necessary to enter or win.
&ldquo;If you love your dog as much as I love mine, this contest is for you,&rdquo; said Carla Mattioli, Marketing Director at Harford Bank. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have to be a customer&mdash;just grab a ball, snap a photo, and have fun. No purchase, no pressure.&rdquo;
Entries will be accepted through June 30 at 11:59 PM. Community voting will take place on Facebook beginning July 6, with the dog receiving the most likes earning the title of Harford Bank&rsquo;s Top Dog.
Contest balls are available at all Harford Bank branches while supplies last. No purchase is required to participate.

Our community needs you ASAP!

Saving our Kids from the lack of oversight. Administators ignoring detrimental incidents, bullying, racial profiling, lack of legal requirements of 504 plans and IEP's. Testing sets precedence over everything else to cover up the disfunction. Bullying and harassment from the administrators down to the teachers stealing our children's light. Intimidation, humiliation, clique-like mentality and targeting of students!
