Name: First National Bank of Tom Bean
Location: 109 S. Britton, Tom Bean, TX 75489
Website: www.fnbtb.com
Description: The First National Bank of Tom Bean features a Grand Community Room, a large rectangular room with a fireplace at one end and an attached kitchen. The room is hard-surfaced, so acoustics are resonant. As regular readers will know, this is both helpful and challenging, depending on your event. For a wedding or quiet dinner, musicians and speakers are easily heard by guests. In a more lively or crowded reception, guest sound can overwhelm acoustic musicians, though those closer to the music will still hear without problem.
Recommended Ensembles: Any
