Hometown Hero Award2026 Winner has been announced!

🏆 Congratulations to our Lebanon Hometown Hero, Edward “Ed” Johnson!

A lifelong Lebanon resident, Ed has spent more than four decades serving his community. From mentoring young people as a Scout leader and supporting youth baseball as an umpire to his incredible dedication to the Union Fire Company and Lebanon City Fire Police, Ed has always answered the call to help others.

Since joining the Union Fire Company in 1980, Ed has devoted countless hours to protecting and serving his neighbors, never seeking recognition—just quietly showing up whenever his community needs him.

To celebrate Ed and thank him for his incredible service, we were honored to present him with a $1,000 Hometown Hero check, along with a basket of goodies as a small token of our appreciation. 🎁

We’re proud to recognize Ed Johnson as our Hometown Hero and celebrate a lifetime of service, leadership, and dedication to Lebanon. Thank you, Ed, for everything you’ve done for our community! ❤️🚒
