Parents with young children visited the Lancaster Barnstormers' Fan Fest a bit early on April 16 for an opportunity to teach their children a lesson about the importance of saving money. It was part of the Ephrata National Bank (ENB) Pigs in the Park program designed to turn little ones into lifelong savers.

During the event, ENB hid hundreds of piggy banks within the stadium for children to find before gameday activities began. Any child ages 2 to 12 who found a piggy bank was invited to take it to an ENB branch and have money deposited into an ENB Super Saver savings account in his or her name. Children were able to keep the banks and may continue saving for something special, making regular deposits into their savings accounts.

Pigs in the Park events will continue at community parks throughout Lancaster, Chester and Lebanon counties on eight Saturdays throughout the summer.
