A garden without its statue is like a sentence without its verb.”
—Joseph W. Beach, literary critic
The same could be said for a front yard without a mailbox dragon, for that matter! We received well over 100 entries in this month’s contest, but in the end, the following five stood above the rest. Not that it was an easy task to decide; the creativity and artistry evident in yards all over Co-op Country left little to be desired. We hope you enjoy these—and the additional ones here on our website—as much as we did.
