Allen Hollander’s photo of 362 Lake Shore Drive East highlights one of last week’s yards of the week.
This year's contest includes 56 categories - and our section highlighting all of those nominees will be included in a special section later this month.
Help the OBSERVER help the Resource Center.
On Wednesday morning, our annual special edition highlighting the Laurel Run will be hitting the streets from 6 to 9 a.m. The special edition is $1 with proceeds from the sale benefiting work-related projects for adults with disabilities at The Resource Center.
This year's Laurel Run events begin on Friday, July 20 with the run from Jamestown to Dunkirk and continue on Saturday, July 21 with the walk, run and numerous events in Silver Creek.
This is the 16th year of the Laurel Run and the 11th year of our special edition, which has raised more than $22,500 for research and area initiatives.
Special edition OBSERVERs, which will be sold in Dunkirk, Fredonia, Silver Creek and Brocton areas, will highlight the events of the Laurel Run and the Resource Center as well as the people who make it happen.
Special thanks - and gratitude - to volunteer city residents who continue to spotlight area yards and gardens in Dunkirk. The effort is no small task, but is highly read each week in the OBSERVER.
Skeeter Tower is responsible for helping with the article while Allen Hollander takes the photos of the yards. It is a small step - but major piece - to spotlighting some of Dunkirk's hidden gems.
