The Leesville Mayor’s Women’s Commission recently presented their May 2024 Civic Awards for Beautification to two Leesville citizens.
The commercial winner was Edward Jones Investments located at 609 South 5th St. Near the entrance is a beautiful display of Amaryllis. The bulbs were planted years ago in memory of Ms. Lyons’ late grandmother, and are still admired by everyone who visits. The grounds are cared for by her uncle, John Carpenter. Pictured on the left are (L to R): Patrick Martin, Glenda Jarrell (MWC) and Melanie Lyons.
The residential award was presented to Rachel and Jerimie Betts who live at 103 East North St. The front of the home is lined with a variety of ornamental shrubbery and a well-manicured lawn. These continue along the side yard where they are backed by large red rose bushes that are currently covered in blooms, providing both beauty and privacy for the family.
