Bank celebration

First State Bank of Burnet President Cary Johnson, left, is pictured with Michelle and Jeff Runge of Bertram, who were the winners of a grand prize giveaway Saturday in Burnet at an event marking the bank's 100 years of business. The Runges won a Vizio 50-inch plasma flat screen television and a Sony surround sound home theater system. Employees of the bank's Lampasas branch -- and Burnet main bank and motor facility -- were on hand for the celebration, as were citizens from Lampasas and other area communities.

Some 1,400 barbecue plates were served, as well. While one of the youths lies down to take a break at last weekend's celebration, a number of her peers took their turns getting some exercise in a bouncy house.
