Firelands FCU supports local fair projects with $64,000 donation
BELLEVUE, OH (September 27, 2024) — Every Summer, Firelands Federal Credit Union (Firelands FCU) attends local fairs to help support 4-H members who work tirelessly on their projects throughout the year.
This fair season, Firelands FCU donated over $64,000 towards approximately 142 projects presented at the Attica Independent, Crawford County, Erie County, and Huron County Fair. Of those projects, 36 exhibitors had membership ties to Firelands FCU. Following each auction, all animal projects were donated back to the owners.
“Our local youth continue to inspire us with their hard work and determination,” said Brett Montague, Firelands FCU’s President/CEO. “We’re glad to be part of their journey toward success.”

About Firelands Federal Credit Union
Firelands Federal Credit Union had its humble beginnings in 1955, when seven Nickel Plate Road employees joined together to form a financial savings club. When officially chartered in 1957, the credit union was open only to railroad employees, but in 1970, opened its membership to include anyone who lives or works in Erie, Huron and Crawford counties. Today, Firelands FCU serves over 36,061 members. As a member-owned credit union, the earnings on Firelands FCU’s business activities are returned to the member-owner in the form of higher earnings on savings, lower rates on loans, and a wide range of related financial services at the lowest possible cost.
