Dee Young raised a welding helmet to examine her handiwork on a Monday night in early March. Young and several other members of Fort Scott Community College’s night welding class on the Paola campus are playing a key role in the expansion of the Hometown Heroes banner program in Louisburg. The program began last fall and quickly sold all 44 banner spots on light poles in downtown Louisburg, organizers said. Because of the program’s popularity more banners are being added for 2022. To accommodate the overflow, most of those banners will be displayed on flag holders in the green space between City Hall and Fox Hall during the weeks surrounding Memorial Day and Veterans Day through May 2023, organizers said.
