<p class="MsoNormal">Good Friday morning! Just wanted to give a quick shout out to all of you that submitted entries for this year’s competition! We had 235 submittals from 24 communities!! You guys rock! WE love seeing all the different projects, events,
people, etc. that help make your community unique and outstanding. We know a lot (and we mean A LOT!) of work goes into these entries each year and we just want to say thank you for all the hard work! Let the judging commence.
