Meet Maynard the Mouse
and His Friends on a Great,
Big Nebraska Adventure
Do you like exploring and making new pals along the way? How about saving up for something special? Then you’ll love Maynard’s Great, Big Nebraska Adventure, a heartfelt tribute to the vibrant Nebraska towns where FMB thrives and the amazing customers and employees who call these places home.
Maynard sets out from the town of Douglas to visit friends and family in Milford. Along the way, he sees the sights in each of FMB’s hometowns. He also gets to go to a festival, try new treats, float down a river—all with his friends in tow.
Maynard the Mouse
Our hero is named in honor of Maynard Dunlap, grandfather of FMB President and CEO Gerry Dunlap. Gerry learned many valuable life lessons from Maynard, including the fundamentals of what makes community banking special. Throughout the story, Maynard sets a good example of saving—and it pays off at the end!
