The Town Veterans Advisory Committee has requested our assistance in installing the Hometown Hero Banners along Main Street (and side roads) on Saturday, April 18th.
The Downtown Riverhead Hometown Hero Veteran Banners program honors local past and present veterans, active-duty, reserve, and National Guard members by displaying their photos, names, and branches of service on downtown lamp posts. This initiative is managed by the Riverhead Town Veterans Advisory Committee in partnership with the Riverhead Business Improvement District
Please meet at Parking Lot of Town Hall on 2nd Street at 10 am. Below is an instruction sheet for those who volunteer, it is recommended to work in teams of two.
What you need:
Work Gloves
Step-Ladder (6 feet in height)
WD-40-for the knobs that won’t unscrew
Work in teams of two or more- one person to go up the step-ladder and another person to either take the banner or hand the banner. Work gloves may well be needed.
Unscrew round knobs from arm poles- turn counter-clockwise. If they are stuck, use WD-40 or leave it and contact Kim Judd, someone with a tool will take it down. New banners will fit tightly, so you may have to squeeze top and bottom arms together and shimmy the banner on or off. After banner is installed or removed, screw knobs back on. Banners are located along Main Street, starting west on the light poles across the street from the Suffolk County Historical Society, proceeding east.
Veteran banners are also located on Peconic Avenue, Roanoke Avenue, McDermott Ave and the Town Square.
