It’s the property owners who wield paint brushes, plant flowers and spend countless hours manicuring their lawns to perfection that keep the Village of Oxford looking like a center spread straight out of Better Homes and Gardens.
To recognize all of their hard work and property-enhancing efforts, the village’s Beautification Commission recently named nine winners as part of its 17th Annual Beautification Awards program.
Three attractive businesses and six charming homes (see page 12) were honored from amongst 75 nominees.
Winners were selected based on their property’s aesthetic contributions ? landscaping, upkeep, repairs and improvements ? toward the village’s overall appearance.
The awards are designed to encourage others to spruce up or maintain their residential and commercial properties, which has the net effect of beautifying the entire community.
During an Oct. 6 ceremony in the village’s community room, each winner will be presented a stunning professional photograph of their property courtesy of Johnston Photography in downtown Oxford
