2022 HOMETOWN HEROES BANNER PROGRAM

The Elwood Chamber, in partnership with the City of Elwood, is pleased to announce the 2022 HOMETOWN HERO BANNER PROGRAM, honoring past and present members of the U.S. Armed Forces and Indiana National Guard, who hail from Elwood, Indiana.

A limited edition of banners measuring 18x48-inches and digitally printed on outdoor vinyl will be available for a sponsorship fee of $85 per banner (less 10% discount for Chamber members). Each banner will bear the Hometown Hero’s name, branch of service, rank, and photograph as provided by the sponsor.

Your banner will remain on display on a light pole in Elwood’s downtown area for one year beginning July 4, 2022. (Location of banners cannot be guaranteed and may be alternated during the year.) After the banners are taken down July 1, 2023, they will be given to their sponsors as a cherished keepsake.
