We fought off this mornings rain and Sussex Councilman John Ross and I got up 10 of our Hometown Hero Banners. We can only hang them back up on the newly retro fitted lightpoles. We are awaiting JCP&L to complete the retro fit, we will continue to get them back up as they do. Unfortunately we couldn't get them all back up for Memorial Day, but lets hope that by the parade on July 18, they will all be proudly hanging again.
