The home of Jeff and Amy Clements at 202 East 1st Street has been chosen as the Yard of the Month by the Barton County Master Gardeners. The yard has a variety of ornamental and shade trees with a colorful array of raised beds containing dahlias, Lantana, petunias, salvia, blanket flower and zinnias. There are large stone fountains that have been designed and made by Jeff. Refurbished antique benches, lamp posts and swings decorate the front yard while several pieces of refurbished park-like play equipment are available for the grandchildren in the back yard. Over 5000 Coffeyville brick have been used to create a meandering path around the house. The yard provides a feast for the eye all around the house.

Lamar Democrat/Melody Metzger Despite the rather chilly weather Friday night, Dec. 20, there was a huge attendance at Christmas in the Park, as children and adults both had a fun filled variety of events keeping them busy throughout the evening. Many took the opportunity to have their picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with trying to burst the pinata. The Girl Scouts offered cocoa, coffee and popcorn throughout the evening. The adults were having as much fun as the kids with the various games and helper Susan Roland works with Willow Renfro as she decorates a holiday card. The winners of the lighting contest were Kurt Marti Crop Insurance in the Business Division and the Girl Scouts in the Youth Division.
