Mercantile Bank will be "breaking new ground" Friday.
The special bank ground-breaking ceremony will be held at the site of the new banking facility at Jackson, on East Jackson Boulevard, across from the site of the new Wal-Mart Supercenter, at 3:30 p.m., to be followed by some events for children and adults.
A giant sand pile, containing buried coins will be a big attraction for the children, who will be provided with shovels to dig for hidden treasures.
Adults will play "Jackson Trivia" to won cash prizes of $20 bills, which feature a picture of Andrew Jackson.
