We've all seen signs like this in our travels.
Communities like to celebrate their connections to famous people.
Sometimes well-known people become drawing cards for special occasions. Often communities or organizations seek celebrities' endorsements for a particular purpose or simply reward them for actions of which the community approves.

Glenn Cunningham set a world record as a mile runner in the 1930s.
