Civic Pride Volunteers have chosen Sheila & Bob Mumme’s home at 1171 Shady Lane, for the Christmas “Yard of the Month” and they received a $50 gift card to Otto & Sons Nursery. They were planning to purchase a plant or plants for an empty place in the front, so look forward to getting some advice at the nursery.

The Mummes have lived in their home for 28 years & this was their first home. Bob does all the outside decorations and Sheila picks & arranges the signs & porch decorations. For their first Christmas, they made wooden painted figures of Mr. & Mrs. Claus with the North Pole mailbox seen in the photo & cheerful barrel footstools for their chairs.

Be sure to go out to the Tradition’s neighborhood to see their classy & well- balanced display, as well as other decorated homes in the courts.

If you are taking a tour around town, honorable mentions would be 343 Foothill, 2nd & Central Ave., 371 & 997 B St. Special previous winners to view are located at 910 Taylor Lane, 408 Robin Court, & 408 Edgewood.

Civic Pride Volunteers appreciate the generosity of Otto & Sons Nursery, providing the gift awards since at least 2003. All are welcome to join in our group which will meet again, January 18, 2023 at 1:30pm in the City Hall Council Chambers. Come help us enrich this already great little town!
