Clarksville's Yards of Fall

For the last few weeks, citizens have voted for their favorite yards that capture the spirit of Autumn. On October 19, polls closed and participants were awarded with gift cards, bird feeders, and plants from the program sponsors such as Clarksville feed & Supply, BP Nursery, Blossomberry Nursery, and Jackie Verweibe with Clarksville  Parks & Rec. 

This month saw some great decorating and crafting on behalf of contestants and it really paid off for their neighborhoods!

Best Business

The "Best Business" Award was given to Georgia Poultry Equipment Co. on S. Rogers St. for their display of haybales, corn stalks, an assortment of fall-colored plants, and their very own homegrown pumpkins. Would you believe that their biggest pumpkin weighed over 75 pounds?!

​If you are an avid gardener, farmer, rancher or homesteader, swing by their store in Clarksville to see what's on the shelves. They offer everything from farm equipment to building materials for agriculture projects of all sizes!

Storefront of Georgia Poultry Equipment Co. in Clarksville went above and beyond with their Fall decorating.

First Place Yard

Alesha and her family have created a picture-perfect Autumn scene at their cottage home located on East Poplar Street.  With gourds, scarecrows, hay bales, and great landscaping adorned with a variety of plants, this property makes for a beautiful sight in their neighborhood! 

Second Place

Sharon's home on Thompson Drive has been converted to a fun & spooky graveyard filled with witches, ghosts, black cats, and pumpkins. All of the wood items were personally crafted by her, and is now the resting place for the likes of "Izzy Dead" and "Rattle M. Bones". Drive by after dark to really appreciate her lighting arrangements!

Honorable Mention

​Linda & Danny dedicated a lot of time crafting, painting, and dressing the wooden people that now reside on their Sioux St. yard for Fall. With a display of pumpkins, burlap, hay bales, and blooming mums, their yard stands out, especially at night with great lighting to show off their hard work! 

Get Ready for Christmas
