Civic Pride Volunteers have chosen Amber Clendening’s holiday decorated yard at 734 A Street to receive the Christmas “Yard of the Month” award.

Amber has lived in Fillmore for most of her life, and on A Street for the last 6-plus years. She said last year was the first time she decorated for Christmas in a long time. She happened to be shopping in Oxnard and saw the meteor roof lights which her grandson really liked and wanted. And, of course, she had to purchase some other decorations to go with them.
This year she added more decorations and will continue adding each year. She does the decorating and her mother helps by holding the ladder, an important task!

Amber was very pleased to receive the Otto & Sons Nursery gift card! She helps a friend with her rose garden and has gone to the nursery to pick roses.

There were so many nicely decorated homes. Here are some “honorable mentions” for your tour: 1026 Arrasmith, 423 Robin, 140 Cherrywood, 758 Galvin, 251 Edgewood & 188 Edgewood, 174 Coronado, 30 Coronado, 44 Cordova, & the Traditions neighborhood off Goodenough Road.

Civic Pride Volunteers appreciate Otto & Sons Nursery for their generous support of this project which has stimulated neighborhoods to improve their yards and to get involved in the fun of holiday decorating.
