On Friday, August 3, the 2012 Carey Fest Queen Katie Driggers, Junior Queen Ella Clinger and Junior King Duane Gibson were crowned. Commercial Savings Bank was co-sponsor of the Mustang Sally concert. Pantasia also performed on Friday.

The annual parade was the highlight for Saturday, August 4. Grand Marshalls were Pete Fanning and his wife, Ruth. A CSB-sponsored concert with Phil Dirt & the Dozers had to be cancelled due to storms.

Commercial Savings Bank employees were busy throughout the event volunteering at Carey Athletic Boosters and Music Boosters food tents, selling 50/50 tickets for the Chamber of Commerce and at the Twilight 5K and Twilight Trot.
