Sylvan Heritage Council Sesquicentennial Banner Update

SPONSOR A BANNER AND HELP CELEBRATE CAMERON COUNTY’S SESQUICENTENNIAL

As part of the upcoming sesquicentennial celebration of our county, The Sylvan Heritage Council has embarked upon a street banner project to memorialize (or honor) individuals who have contributed in some way to the betterment of Cameron County and its citizens. Families, businesses, churches, or any other group may honor a family member, founding father, or any individual you feel has positively impacted Cameron County.

The banners will be proudly displayed in downtown Emporium (and other key intersections in Cameron County) from March through December 2010. They are 30” wide x 60” tall and will be hung from Emporium’s streetlights (similar to the Christmas banners that were displayed in the Borough over the holidays). Each unique banner will be screenprinted with an image of the person your family/organization wishes to honor or memorialize (you must provide us with a picture), as well as his or her name. The sponsor’s name will be prominently displayed at the bottom as well.

Sponsor a banner for $185.00 and help us celebrate Cameron County’s 150th birthday! If you have no one in particular in mind, we have lots of ideas! Our goal is to display these banners, each with a different image of someone who has, or will, go down in Cameron County History. If you have any questions or would like to purchase a banner, please contact Linda Lundberg at 486-1709, leave a message at the CC Chamber of Commerce, or email Michelle @ cameroncountypaonline@gmail.com and I will forward your name & information & someone from the banner committee will contact you.

Sylvan Heritage Council Sesquicentennial Banner Update

Update: The Sylvan Heritage Councils Sesquicentennial street banner project is underway. We are delighted to say we have surpassed our original goal of 50 banners!

Plans are underway for the publication of an informational booklet displaying each banner photo and a summary of the photo. A tentative open house for the banner unveiling is being scheduled for 7 p.m., March 29th, 2010 at the intersection of 4th & Broad street. Refreshments will be available at the Chamber of Commerce building, located at 34 E 4th street.

There is still time left to sponsor a banner. The Sylvan Heritage Council has time to submit 6 more banners!
