Fillmore Civic Pride volunteers have chosen the decorated yard at 256 Rhodes Court, belonging to the Vieyra family, for the Fall Harvest/ Halloween Award. Daughter Eva said her mother, Rocio Vieyra, enjoys decorating for all the holidays and the children help her as needed. Eva said decorating is a hobby and fun for the entire family.
The family has lived on Rhodes Court for about 20 years and in Fillmore for 25 years. Be sure to get out of your car and walk on the sidewalk in front of the house during the night or even in daytime to see the amazing city of figures and buildings at ground level. Rocio even has black roses and a black tree in a planter, and the house is covered with decorations and lights.
Rocio works at a beauty salon in the brick Firestone building across from Fillmore City Hall, so drop in to congratulate her on the hard work and award!
The family will enjoy using their gift certificate from Otto & Sons Nursery and now is a great time for everyone to shop with their 40% off sale which lasts until the end of October! Civic Pride volunteers are thankful for Otto & Sons Nursery’s support in this project which improves our community in appearance and fosters community participation. And we have the pleasure of meeting people in different neighborhoods!
“Honorable Mentions” to take a tour with the family include: 502 Stonehedge, 759 Galvin, 3661 Foothill, 644 Mountain View, 398 Edgewood, 45 Central, 787 Burlington, 855 Sante Fe, 937 Sante Fe, 998 Hinckley, 603 2nd, and 733 3rd Street. Traditions neighborhood off Goodenough Road also has some great decorations and Candelaria at the end of the street.
