PUTNAM — Looking at love. Looking at strengths, not flaws. Peace and love surround the Putnam Business Association’s newest campaign: Feel the Love … There is Passion in Putnam
Gary Osbrey, the new PBA president, said the campaign represents how he plans to lead the PBA — by bringing the community together.
The month of February, hearts will start poppin’ up featuring new banners through town with messages “Heart to Heart We Grow Together” and “Love Someone. Open up Your Heart."
There will also be a new lighted heart installation will stretch across Cargill Falls.
For Valentine’s weekend and the following weekend, hearts will be projected onto the facade of 88 Main.
 Throughout the two weeks every window will be uplit with colorful lighting. This will also feature a 65-inch flat-screen monitor in one of the windows that will have a rotation of sponsorship recognition, heartfelt messaging and past years event photos.
COVID-19 may have forced the cancellation of the 2021 Fire and Ice event, but Putnam will explode with love and passion for the entire month of February.
Safely open and eager, retail and restaurants will be incorporating hearts into their establishments for the entire month including: heart window displays, menu items —– dine and take-out — and other love-inspired items for purchase.  
To accommodate COVID-19 safety rules, early reservations are recommended.
Feel the Love banners and the Hearts over the Falls will be a permanent fixture for years to come.
