The Hometown Heroes banners displayed last year in downtown Rochester was the first of a new tradition for downtown and is being continued in 2024. 

Celebrating the active, retired and late service members of the community, Rochester Downtown Partnership member Chad Hisey said their photos and names will be hung on display throughout downtown Rochester starting in January. 

All banners are printed at Kewanna Screen Printing, and cost $150 each, or $50 for re-used banners. 

Forms can be found on the Rochester Downtown Partnership website at www.rochester-downtown.com/post/hometown-heroes and are due with payment by October 31.

Banners will be hung sometime in early January.
