Our Civic Pride Volunteer Committee is back in Action with the selection of a “Holiday Yard of the Month”.

The Holiday “Yard of the Month” will be chosen from decorated homes and yards within the entire Fillmore community. Civic Pride Committee is putting out a “call” to all the creative and clever, to get their decorating done early, so a photo of the winner and a list of “honorable mentions” may be put in the newspaper. People can enjoy making a tour of the neighborhoods. We invite you to make your suggestions for best decorated yard by phone or email to, Linda Nunes, 805-302-7527 or email to Lsnunes1411@gmail.com . A member of the committee will be making the selection between December 6-12, to give people a weekend to get decorations put up.

The award will be a $40 gift certificate to Otto and Sons Nursery. The Klittich Family have generously continued this award support over the years and committee members have seen a positive affect in our neighborhoods, as people “spruce up” their yards.

Sadly, there will be no Christmas trees on Central this year because of the difficulty in obtaining and maintaining living trees. BUT, we are asking people in the community to donate their old artificial, 6’ + trees to begin a collection for future years. We would need a minimum of 16 trees.

Steve McKeown has offered to pick up donated trees. His cell number is 805-904-5424.
