Okeechobee Main Street is planning a banner program to celebrate our local
veteran hometown heroes. We would like to place personalized banners in
the downtown area on the existing light poles from November 1 until the
end of November or until the City places their Christmas banners.
We will be working on a campaign effort to get the funding and sponsors.
Each banner will have a photo of a local veteran being honored, along with
their service information. We will be encouraging photos of veterans in
uniform. We are basing this campaign on ones that other Main Streets have
been successfully doing for many years.
We feel this would be a great way to add to the Veteran’s Day celebrations
and show our local veterans our support. We are attaching an example of
banners done in other towns.
Please note that Okeechobee Main Street will be designing the banners
and have then printed locally. Veterans and/or their family will be given the
banner after they are removed.
Okeechobee Main Street wants to make this an annual ongoing program
that we know the community will love and will also bring people into the
downtown area.
