Official Newspaper of Eddy County since 1883
On the south side of town, just near the tracks, there is a yard worthy of attention. Roger and Betty Westby have been named this week's Yard of the Week by the New Rockford Area Betterment Corporation. The Westbys were nominated twice for the award.
Amy Perleberg said, "Their gardens are an amazing place to visit! So much work goes into them!"
An anonymous nominator said, "Their yard is well deserved for this honor. All of the work and pride that goes into their yard and gardens is amazing. The creativity and work doesn't go unnoticed, especially being one of the first things you see coming into town."
So the next time you go south on U.S. Highway 281, give a nod to the beautiful yard of Roger and Betty Westby. Perhaps you'd even like to give Snoopy a wave.
Yard of the Week nomination forms are available at City Hall, Miller's Fresh Foods and Bakers Dozen. One yard will be named each week. Winners receive $25 in Chamber bucks and have recognition in the newspaper and on social media each week through Sept. 30.
