Please Take Notice
The Village is now completing our next phase of Hometown Hero Banners. In addition to those who are honored in the municipal lot, as you travel along E. Market St, W. Market St, Mill St and Montgomery St, you can look up and see more of Rhinebeck’s own who have answered the call of duty.
All submitted applications have been processed and the remaining banners will be hung ahead of Veterans Day. The crew will be working on East Market St and Montgomery St so please be mindful when driving on those streets.
A very heartfelt thank you to Dave and the crew from Dave’s Tree Service who volunteered their time, equipment and labor to hang these banners.
