If you have been around Whiskey Creek for a while, you are probably familiar with our Yard of the Month recognition. It has been a wonderful way to recognize the care, creativity, and character that go into the homes and gardens in our neighborhood. Each month, we have celebrated those small details that help make Whiskey Creek such a beautiful place to live.
That tradition is not going anywhere, but just as our neighborhood continues to grow and change, so does the way we want to celebrate it. Starting in the next issue of The Whiskey Creek News, we are building on the spirit of Yard of the Month by expanding the spotlight beyond the yard. After all, what really makes Whiskey Creek special isn’t just what’s in front of the house, it’s who is inside.
We are excited to begin featuring neighbors who contribute to our beautiful community in other meaningful ways. Maybe it’s someone who quietly helps others by taking in a neighbor’s trash bins, checking in on elderly residents, or organizing a food drive. Maybe it’s the teen who mows lawns for free or the new resident who is already bringing people together. These are the kinds of gestures that don’t always come with fanfare but deserve a moment of recognition all the same.
This is not a contest and there is no vote or competition. It is simply a way to highlight the people who help create the friendly, welcoming atmosphere we all value. And much like Yard of the Month, we will keep things light and neighborly—no pressure, just appreciation.
If someone comes to mind, we would love to hear from you. Send us a short email with their name, a few words about what makes them special, and a photo if you have one. We will make every effort to feature each submission in the months ahead. It might not be immediate, but we want every story to have its turn.
We will continue recognizing beautiful yards as we always have, but now we will also shine a light on the spirit of the people who live in them. Because in the end, it’s not just the lawns and gardens that make this neighborhood beautiful, it’s the neighbors themselves.
Stay tuned for our first feature in the July issue of The Whiskey Creek News and don’t forget to send in your nominations. We are looking forward to hearing the stories of the neighbors that make Whiskey Creek the best place to live!
