Citizens Progressive Bank
Rayville, Louisiana
Trip: Great Trains and Grand Canyons
Tour Operator: Premier World Discovery
Date: September 2020
The Citizens Progressive Bank’s travel club took members on two train trips: the Grand Canyon Railway and the Verde Canyon Railroad. Along the way, the group explored several highlights in Arizona, such as the Grand Canyon National Park, Oak Creek Canyon, Uptown Sedona and Old Town Scottsdale.
“Our tour guide was absolutely amazing. One top attraction was the Grand Canyon. No matter how many times you go, it is still an incredible place to see. The Verde Canyon Railroad had luxury rail cars with refreshments in each car. We were entertained by music as well as narration from the conductor about the area. All of us have many fond memories from this trip.”

Citizens Tri-County Bank
Dunlap, Tennessee
Trip: Dirty Dancing Meets Filthy Rich
Tour Operator: U.S. Tours
Date: October 2019
For two nights the Golden Club with Citizens Tri-County Bank explored the Lake Lure Inn and Spa in Lake Lure, North Carolina, where the film “Dirty Dancing” was filmed.
“We enjoyed a private lake cruise and tour of the film locations from ‘Dirty Dancing.’ A day trip to the Biltmore added to the fun and beauty of this trip. The rocking chairs at the front of the hotel made a great spot to relax between activities. It was a beautiful time of year for walks along the lake shore and viewing fall foliage.”
— Laura Barker, director of senior programs and travel
