Hometown Heroes
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL!!
Thank everyone who stopped by our Harrisville Hometown Heroes Booth and purchased raffle tickets, made a donation, or purchased Community Fest Shirts provided by Project All Together. It was an honor to sell the shirts for Project All Together so that Trevor Luther could be present at his daughter's wedding. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Phillips!! Thank you Trevor for all you do to give back to our little community!! WE all appreciate you very much!!
Thank you so much to Allan Bango II for allowing us to use his flatbed and truck for the Veterans Float in the parade, a big thank you to Bruce Bango for driving the truck and safely towing us, and To his wife Ceilia and daughter Lisa for helping us Decorate! Thank you to Mr. Bill Kellerhals for helping me contact the many veterans in our community to see if they would ride or march in the parade. To all the Veterans who came and rode with us, Thank you!!!! Thank you also to Trudy Parow, who bought and donated large bags of candy for us to throw to the kids, and for making a huge gift basket to raffle off at our booth! Thank you to Mr. Davis for helping Jereme put the rails on the flat bed and for riding with us too!! The parade was great fun and I think, a huge success!!
This year for community fest, Harrisville Hometown Heroes was in a fund raising mode. We are gearing up for some new projects. WE will be fund raising through out the year and will keep you posted. If anyone would like to make a donation, you can send to Harrisville Hometown Heroes, PO Box 460, Harrisville, NY 13648. Make checks or money orders payable to Harrisville Hometown Heroes. The two new projects in the works are: a Memorial Park, and a scholarship for students headed into the trades.
Thank you to all who helped make the last fundraiser for the hardware for our second order of flags a success! We could not have raised the needed funds without our local businesses who donated and to several community members who also stepped up and donated! We truly appreciate each and every one of you! Thank you for helping us honor our Veterans! To all the family members who ordered an Honor Flag. Thank you!!! We will let all know when the next order will be starting, if we can, and how much

One of our community members, Floyd “Pug” Reader, came up with the idea to try to do more as a community to honor our Veterans and Service Members. His amazing idea was put into action in 2022 when we completed our first order of 45 Honor Flags. Our second order of Honor Flags has been completed with 85 more flags to add to last years order, totally 130 Honor Flags, with 129 flags going up this year. There were a few reprints required, and we had to wait for some extra hardware to be sent, but soon all Flags will be up to honor our hometown heroes. Once all flags are up, to include the reprints, new pictures will be uploaded here. By Memorial day there were 127 flags up. The town looks amazing with all of our brave men and women in uniform lining our streets.
We are in a hold pattern as of right now for when the next order cycle will take place. The company we order from is restructuring their pricing and can't get a quote to us until December. We also have to get all the light poles counted to see how many more are available to hang honor flags from. So the next flag order cycle, IF possible, will not be until next year.
Moving forward, for our organization to be a success, and to be able to do some more projects, we would like to add to our membership of three! We need more members!! If you are interested you can message us via our Facebook group page, Harrisville Hometown Heroes.
If you would like to make a donation to Harrisville Hometown Heroes, for future projects, you can do so via check, money order, or cash. These donations can be dropped off at the Town of Diana clerk's office during normal business hours, or after hours via the secure drop box located by the Town of Diana Courtroom doors. Checks and Money orders would be made out to Harrisville Hometown Heroes.
You can request to join the group via Facebook, by searching Harrisville Hometown Heroes. Watch the page for more updates, future projects, and future Harrisville Hometown Heroes meetings. We hope to see more faces and helping hands, ready and wanting to give back to our community!
