M&T Bank in Boyertown Unveils "Hamilton," the Latest Addition to Bear Fever Public Art Project

by Jane Stahl

A drizzly Friday morning did not dampen the spirits of dozens of community and banking leaders and members of the community who welcomed "Hamilton," the latest addition to the Bear Fever public art project, the mascot of Boyertown's branch of M&T Bank on the corner of S Washington St and E Philadelphia Ave.

Community leaders added their appreciation for the bank's mission of support for the community and appreciation of its storied history, visualized in the company's colors printed on t-shirts the staff wore for the unveiling and in the images of Boyertown Area's pride painted on the bear's body. 

In nods to the banking industry, "Hamilton's" ears sport dollar signs; his toes feature coins. But the logo for community shines in his eyes and is enlarged on his nose. 

Look forward to more information about M&T Bank as it plans measures to support the community.
