Yard of the Week
The Bessemer City Yard of the Week is selected by the Bessemer City Image Committee. The Image Committee's goal is to improve the overall appearance of Bessemer City by doing volunteer work like planting flowers and making suggestions to the City Council and Staff on how to improve the appearance of Bessemer City.
The Bessemer City Image Committee would like to congratulate all the winners of BC Yard of the Week in 2007 and thank the citizens that helped the Image Committee this year. The Committee would also like to thank the Gaston Gazette for publishing the Yard of the Week winners. |
