The Locust Grove Oklahoma Area Chamber of Commerce honors local homeowners and businesses that make a special effort to beautify their premises.

Each month, a home or business is awarded the LG Yard of the Month and will receive a gift certificate to a local business.

The Chamber program is facilitated by Locust Grove Middle School teacher Missy Ingram and her students. The students choose each month’s winner.

The students also came up with the criteria for the contest:

1. Lawn and house must be well kept and neat.
2. Must be seasonal if decorated (Example: No Christmas lights up in August unless it fits a decor).
3. House must be in LG or within the LG school district.
4. Porch and yard must be free of debris that does not fit the decor of the home and yard.

Judging takes place by the 25^th of each month for the following month’s award.

Nominations for yards can be posted in the COMMENTS below or by emailing Ingram at mingram@lg.k12.ok.us. You can also call/text her at 918-638-2845. Please send the address and/or a photo with your nomination. Nominations can be anonymous.
