FARMERS BRANCH — The new Farmers Branch Yard of the Month program will recognize homeowners who add beauty to their neighborhood with the landscaping and upkeep of their yard, supporting the City’s initiative to encourage neighborhood beautification.
The City will award four nominees, in each quadrant of the City, as the Yard of the Month each month. Each award winner will be given a yard sign to display for one month and a $100 Turner Hardware gift certificate. Pictures of the award winners will be placed on the Farmers Branch web site and names will be listed in The Branch Review.
> Nominee applications must be turned in one week prior to the last Friday of the month. Judges will travel to the nominated locations and choose a winner the same day. The winner will be notified immediately and the sign and gift certificate will be given to them that following Friday.
> Residents’ yards may be nominated more than once per month and during the year. However, a residents’ yard may only be awarded Yard of the Month one time per year. The program year runs January through December.
> For more information, call 972-919-2634 or log on at the Web site to download an application.

Laurie Anderson Laurie Anderson is indescribably delicious. She's hitting McFarlin tonight with her new show, Homeland, and you can bet it will contain intellectual stimulation and pure unadulterated weirdness in equal measure. An album will follow the Homeland tour in 2009. More info

Read the fine print: "Whereas, if the winning yard owner(s) shall be found to employ illegal aliens to scape the land recognized as "Yard of the Month," said owner(s) shall be forever banished from the competition and the illegally manicured yard shall display a sign that reads, 'I hate America' for 12 consecutive months." The rules continue, in a taunting chant, "USA! USA! USA!"
