Hometown Heroes Banners Frequently Asked Questions

The trustees of the Bowling Green Community Foundation, through the generosity of the A.A. Green Family Fund and many other donors, are pleased to have offered this project.

Q:  When will the banners be displayed?

A:  The time period of the banners displayed is somewhat dependent on their location, as the city has agreements with other organizations as well.  For example, the banners located downtown will usually be displayed from approximately Memorial Day through the 4th of July.  Banners in City Park and possibly Wooster Green are anticipated to be up from Memorial Day through Veterans Day. Please note, all dates are approximate, and may change depending on City requests, and workforce availability. 

Q:  Will the banners be changing locations each year? 

A: Each banner is linked to a GIS Technology site (Geographic Information System Mapping) allowing people to locate the banner, and to see information about the honoree (if that was provided on the form).  It is anticipated that the location will remain the same, unless the City needs to make changes with the pole. One exception will be the BG City Park where we will be reversing the placement of the banners on the poles for 2025.

Q: Who do the banners belong to:

A: Bowling Green Community Foundation is the owner of the banners so that they can be put up each year. They are stored by the City of Bowling Green and their employees put them and take them down each year. A small vinyl banner is given to each applicant to display at their home.
