The sounds of lawnmowers buzzing means Henryetta residents are taking care of their lawns.
Everyone is trying to make their homes look nice and get away from the winter blahs.
The annual Yard of the Month contest is also starting.
Each month through December, the First Family Federal Credit Union and Chamber of Commerce wants to reward those who are making their homes look nice.

The program is designed to spread the feeling of pride in the community and make every neighborhood more inviting. There is also the opportunity to win a basket of goodies and valuable gift card. A sign designating that yard's selection will be prominently placed for everyone to see.
Neighbors can nominate a friend's yard or a homeowner can nominate their own. The contest committee will go to the addresses nominated and judge which looks the best.
In the contest opener, nominations will be accepted through May 20. The judging will take place within a couple of days after that and the winner announced on thehenryettan.com website.
Nomination forms may be downloaded here: {jd_file file==91} or from the Henryetta Chamber of Commerce or Free Lance offices.
