Participate in the Bethany Celebrates America’s 250th Passport Program sponsored by the Bethany Economic Development Commission!

The Passport program encourages residents to visit participating businesses, places and events to see what Bethany has to offer! Each location will provide a passport holder with a sticker while they visit-just like when you get your passport stamped when visiting another country. A list of businesses, places and events will be provided 
when you get your Passport. (They are also listed below)

You can obtain a passport at the ceremony at Town Hall after the Memorial Day Parade. Passports will also be available at the Town Clerk’s office and at the Clark Memorial Library after Memorial Day. Once you collect at least 13 stickers, you are eligible to have your Passport be entered in a drawing to win a prize! You are welcome to collect more than 13 or collect them all! Passports must be turned in by June 26 to the Town Clerk’s office.

The 250th Committee and the EDC would like to highlight Tom’s Firearms for their very generous and unexpected 
prize donation! Their donated prize of a $500 gift certificate will be our Platinum Patriot Prize! To qualify for the 
chance to win this, collect ALL 31 stickers-one from each of the 8 Gold Sticker Events and each of the 23 Official 
Sticker Stops. And a special thank you to our Silver Sponsors! While they are not set up to be a sticker spot, we 
are thankful for their participation in the event!

Join the Bethany 250th Committee on July 4, 2026, for the Nationwide Bellringing at 2pm at Veteran’s Memorial 
Park. They will also host an ice cream social and draw from the eligible Passports and award the generously 
donated prizes!
