The Hometwon Heroes Project could use the community‘s help. In the fall two of the banners blew down and have not been seen by the project coordinators. If anyone kindly recovered one of these banners we will be happy to make a time to meet up.

It's time once again for the Williamson Hometown Heroes Banner Project. We hit a few bumps this year but thanks to the amazing effort of the Town of Williamson, Williamson Highway, Williamson American Legion, and The Lettering Lounge we are ready to go.
Since we have a very tight timeline to accomplish adding new banners to the lineup we are hosting a one-day event at the Williamson American Legion on Saturday, March 23, 2024 from 10am -2pm. At this event you can bring your completed application (available at the event) a photo of your veteran, the valid DD214, and payment. We will scan the documents while you wait. Applications can be obtained by emailing [email protected]. If you can't make the March 23rd event Sarah at The Lettering Lounge will be able to accept applications, photos, and DD214 by appointment only until March 28, 2024. Unfortunately, we can not extend the deadline this year. The goal is to have the banners up by Memorial Day 2024.

We want to thank the community for their support over the years. The Hometown Heroes Project is still very much active. The banners are currently being safely stored for the winter. We are currently working to secure a successful way to install and remove the banners for the May 2024 - November 2024. Once we have that and can fairly estimate the cost of the banners for this year we will send out the application. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me [email protected]

MINI STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE TACOS - Don’t Lose This Recipe 😋
Ingredients
5 8 inch Tortillas about 20 rounds
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter melted
1 cup strawberries chopped
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp water
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tbsp cold water
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup cream cheese softened
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 400F. Cut 4-5 rounds out of each tortilla shell with a cookie cutter to get about 20 shells. Dip each into melted butter then coat in graham cracker crumbs.
Flip a muffin tin upside down. Place the tortilla pieces in between muffin cups. Bake 10 minutes until just golden brown. Let cool in pan.
Make the strawberry Filling: In a small pot pour water, add sugar and strawberries. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer to soften the strawberries.
Dissolve cornstarch in water and pour into strawberry mix and bring to a boil, stirring constantly (mixture will be slightly chunky). Remove to cool completely.
Beat cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest and vanilla for 2 minutes, using medium speed, until it thickens. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag.
Fill the taco shells with cream cheese filling and top with 1/2 tsp strawberry filling. Sprinkle with additional graham cracker crumbs, optional!
