Hometown Heroes Banner Program

Please see ATTACHED application.

Cost is $225.00 - cash or check only.

Completed application and a 5x7 photo of the veteran should be submitted to the North Catasauqua Borough Office. The plan is to display the banners this year for Veteran’s Day (*as long as we receive banners in time) and for the next two years from Memorial Day to Veteran’s Day. Banners will be located around the park and then to Howertown Road if needed. They will be placed at random, no specific location can be requested.

The borough and the Betterment Committee will not be responsible for replacement of banners due to weather, wear and tear, etc. Replacement banners will be at the cost of the sponsor.

Any questions, please reach out. And thank you in advance for recognizing and remembering our Hometown Heroes.
