VW Fed supports Smith concert

Michael W. Smith arrives in Van Wert to perform at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center on October 5, thanks in part to presenting sponsor Van Wert Federal Savings Bank. The sold-out concert will be shared with 1,200 guests who have been listening to the inspiring and encouraging music of the contemporary Christian recording artist since the 1980s. Van Wert Federal Savings Bank, which donated $3,500 in support of the concert, has been a friend and supporting partner of the Niswonger Performing Arts Center since the inception of the build vision. The Grand Lobby is named in honor of its generous contributions, which have helped bring six years worth of performers to the stage. Shown with the statue dedicated to benefactor Scott M. Niswonger are (from the left) Jerry Beard, Niswonger Box Office manager; Gary Clay, president and CEO of Van Wert Federal Savings Bank; and Tafi Stober, Niswonger director of marketing.
