In first place with their home on King Avenue is Nancy and Steve Marino!

Nancy and Steve have participated year after year and the effort this year was outstanding.

In second place on Park Ave by Knights Park is Doug Dash whose large flag and bunting perfectly accented his home.

In third place on New Jersey Avenue is The Renner Family! Whose traditional cloth bunting and lined flags matched the character of the home perfectly!

And the winner of our Proud Neighbor Award this year was Lysa Morze of Lincoln Avenue who decorated the front of their duplex!

Thank you to everyone for participating, prizes of Collingswood cash will be delivered in the next two weeks!

We had a great time learning how to strip and repair doors with Bob, now check out what you missed!

 

Collingswood resident, M. Walker , of Woodlawn Terrace, accepted the challenge and was awarded $200 for restoring the leaded glass window in his home.  Wood Window Restoration Grant is funded by Proud Neighbors of Collingswood, an all-volunteer, 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt public charity to encourage historic preservation in Collingswood.  The grant (one per household; maximum $200 per property) is restricted to restortions of original windows in pre-1925 Collingswood homes or buildings.  Grants are consistent with Proud Neighbors of Collingswood civic organization’s goals of striving to maintain the historic character of our Collingswood community.  This project aims to encourage residents to maintain original house details and recognize the importance of historic windows.  Contact info@proudneighborsofcollingswood.org  for more information.
