In light of the pandemic, Yellowhead County’s Agricultural Services Department is hosting this year’s County Pride Contest virtually. So get out your camera and get snapping pictures of your beautiful yards! The deadline for submissions is July 13.
The public will get a chance to vote online to determine which yards are their favourite! That means this year’s garden and yard submissions will be featured online for all across the county to see. And on that note, we are also opening the contest up to everyone in Yellowhead County! For more details, follow us on Facebook (@YellowheadCounty) and stay tuned to the news section of this site.
At the end of the contest, a collage/video will be made to give you a virtual tour of the beautiful properties in Yellowhead County and highlight our winners.
