We are going to let it dry out a bit and put a call out for help again soon.

🇺🇸 25 days!
🇺🇸 250 Years!!
🇺🇸 250 BUCKS!!!
Let’s turn the Village of Carlock….
Red, White and Blue!

We are 25 days before Carlock’s America 250 Celebration. There will be a lot going on the weekend of the 4th and we have just learned of another exciting opportunity for you to take part in!

A community member has generously donated $250 CASH to the 3 homeowner/business owners who show the most patriotic spirit (extra points for clean and tidy curb appeal).

1st place - $125
2nd place - $75
3rd place - $50

Judging will take place on July 2nd and winners will be announced during the NOON presentation in the Park on July 4th!

…Let’s celebrate America and the homes that make our community shine!
