Simsbury's 'Hometown Heroes' To Be Honored Monday, June 16

Town of Simsbury

SIMSBURY, CT — The public is invited to come out Monday afternoon to celebrate the 2025 designees of the town's highest civic honor.

These individuals will be recognized by the town at a ceremony for the "Hometown Heroes" of 2025 on Monday, June 16, at 5 p.m. at Simsbury Town Hall, 933 Hopmeadow St.

This year’s Hometown Heroes are: Rachel Blazer, Cheryl Cook, Jason Gilbert, Jerry Lintner, Joshua Moon, and Margery Winters.

Each year, Hometown Heroes are chosen by the Hometown Heroes Selection Committee in honor of their outstanding contributions to our community.

"The Town of Simsbury is grateful to have active citizens who care about their community and work to better it in any way they can," wrote the town in an announcement.

The program was initiated in 1986 by then-Gov. William O’Neill as part of the 350th Anniversary of the founding of Connecticut.

As part of this, towns were invited to designate residents as “Hometown Heroes” for any deed or service that made the community a better place to live.
