HOMETOWN HERO BANNERS 2024

Historic Bellefonte Incorporated is proud to announce the 5^th round of Hometown Hero Banners. Since the establishment of this program in 2015, we have had the privilege of honoring hundreds of your Hometown heroes by placing them on display throughout downtown Bellefonte. This year, we are delighted to offer the community another chance to honor their heroes.

The Hometown Hero Committee is thrilled that so many people in the community are eager to honor their Heroes. In an effort to honor as many Heroes as possible, and to keep the banners in presentable condition, the committee has established the following guidelines:

• All banners will be displayed for 2 years
• There will no longer be a renewal option at the end of the 2 year

All banners currently on display will be taken down in Fall 2024 and returned to the sponsor. More information will be sent to current sponsors with a time and place to pick up their currently displayed banner.

Thank you for helping us pay tribute to all those men and women from our community who have served and are still serving.

Thank You,

The Hometown Hero Committee
