Yard of the Month

A "Yard of the Month," is awarded during the spring, summer and fall months. Judges for this award are members of the beautification committee and other volunteers. The judging is usually during the 2nd week of the current month. A sign in the winning yard is displayed for the month and the winner is awarded a gift certificate to Harb's Oasis. The winning yards can be seen on the links below.

A special thanks to the Harb family for sponsoring this event to encourage individual residents to beautify and maintain their yards!
