Guided by the theme, “Rooted Here. Reinvested Here,” Blue Grass Federal’s headquarters and main branch renovation project kept every dollar close to home by hiring contractors who are all local to Central Kentucky.

Blue Grass Federal proudly celebrated the grand reopening of its renovated Paris headquarters on Friday, October 17. The renovated space reflects the theme “Rooted Here. Reinvested Here,” — a visible expression of the bank’s mission to keep dollars local and strengthen the community it serves.

Blue Grass Federal is proud to announce its title sponsorship of the 2025 Blue Grass Federal Pumpkin Festival, taking place Saturday, September 20th beginning at 9:00 a.m. at Courthouse Square in downtown Paris. The all-day, family-friendly event is a cherished tradition for families across Bourbon County, and Blue Grass Federal’s sponsorship reflects its mission of mutual banking — keeping dollars local and reinvesting profits directly into the neighborhoods it serves.

With over a decade of experience in community banking and commercial lending, Rawlins brings a proven track record of strategic financial analysis, risk management, and relationship-driven lending to support the growth of local businesses. 

This year Blue Grass Federal is demonstrating a full circle moment by living in their mutual mission and commitment to Paris. By choosing to hire local contractors for the renovation of their branch, they’re not only improving the look and feel but also fostering a deeper connection with the community it serves.
