SHAMOKIN - Citizens for a Better Community (CBC) is expanding its Hometown Heroes banner project to accommodate many requests.
Those wanting to purchase a banner, which includes the name and photo of a veteran, can do so until Wednesday, June 5. If CBC gets 10 new requests it will place an order with the plan that the banners would be hanging in time for July 4.
The cost is the same as those that were placed on poles in Shamokin's downtown earlier this month: $200.
Interested parties can contact Angie Arnold, at 648-6294 or no1nurse@ptd.net for an application.
The banners will hang until after Veterans Day. They will then be returned to their sponsors, but can be hung again next year for an additional $50.
