For the 30th year in a row the Oxford Beautification Committee has chosen
properties in the village to receive recognition. According to Committee
Member Kathy Hummel, the committee judges both residential and
commercial properties. “We judge on upkeep, maintenance, creativity,
landscaping and overall appearance,” she said. Annually, three homes
over 40 years old, three homes under 40 years old and three commercial/
church/public properties are recognized. Recipients will be given their
awards – framed photos of their properties by Johnston Photography
