Thanks to many generous donations from the community, we have fully funded the Centertown Mural project. We are currently taking donations to fund current and future projects including Our Bedford Story, BGT Community Service Awards, and potentially future mural projects involving community partners. Our Mural Dedication Ceremony will be on August 18, 2024 at 5pm in Centertown Park. Please come help us celebrate this creative, collective effort of our community.
Look What's in Store for 2024!
Our Bedford Story is expanding! Last year we collected over 80 stories from residents of the Town of Bedford and Bedford County, all of whom shared any experience they wanted to tell about living here. Throughout 2024, we will publish some of the stories, both in the Bedford Bulletin and here on our website. We invite you to comment on the published stories - or tell your own story here.
We also plan to collect more stories focused on assorted topics and landmarks in Bedford this year, and we'll be available to facilitate more group or one-on-one storytelling. If you are interested in hosting a group, or have a specific topic or landmark you'd like to see in the mix, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected].

A Community Mural will come to life on the side of the building owned by Radford and Wandrei, P.C. overlooking Centertown Park.
We envision a mural that will pay tribute to the many contributions made by Bedford's diverse military members, including women and African-American military members, and it will focus on the ideal that those who serve, regardless of race or sex, are looking out for each other - and for our community as a whole. When viewing the completed mural, we hope everyone will experience appreciation and a heightened understanding, respect and pride in the accomplishments of our diverse community, including those on the home front.
A Call to Artists was released, an artist was chosen, and the painting is underway. Thank you so much to all who donated to this project. We have fully funded this mural thanks to the generosity of so many of our local citizens and organizations. More information to come soon.

We are excited to offer our 2024 Community Service Awards, an annual program recognizing and celebrating individuals and organizations who share the vision of Bedford Get Together. This year, we have added a category for an "Individual Lifetime Achievement" award.
