COUNTY LIFE
Deadline for top yard nominees is April 21
Don’t forget to submit your Yard of the Month nominee for the first month of the annual contest by the April 21 deadline.
Sponsored by The Bowie News and Beautify Our Bowie, the contest winner gets bragging rights for a month with the brightly colored Yard of the Month sign posted in their yard.
A photo also will be published in the Bowie News of the winner placing the sign in their yard. A winner will be named for April, May and June, the prime growing months.
Deadline for nominations is April 21. Call the Bowie News office at 940-872-2247 or email it to [email protected]. Please include the address and name of the resident if you know it or a contact phone number for the nominee.
Nominations will be opened each month and you can submit the same name more than once if they are not a winner. Winners from last season will not be considered to allow for others to have an opportunity.
Experienced gardeners have volunteered their time to visit all the nominees and select a winner.
Inside your weekend Bowie News find the award-winning visitor’s and newcomer’s guide. There are unique features about this area along with all the resources you may need to set up housekeeping or explore something new.
