Marengo-Union Chamber of Commerce expands Hometown Heroes program

The Marengo-Union Chamber of Commerce is expanding its Hometown Heroes banner program beyond those who are serving and have served in the military.

The program has not reached its goal of a minimum of 10 banners to be displayed around downtown Marengo, so the city is opening up the program to anyone who is a “Hometown Hero,” such as firefighters, paramedics, nurses and others with ties to Marengo, according to a news release.

Submissions will be accepted until June 17. The cost is $250 a banner. Forms are available at www.marengo-union.com.
