Collington Holiday Festive House

Kelly McMillen and Cody Mayhew of 11306 Longtown Dr (Longtown section) are the Collington Holiday House Festive Award Winners for 2022.  They have lived in Collington for four and a half years and just love Christmas and the holidays.  Once their decorating process begins it takes them about 45 hours to complete, but the job is never really done.  They love to add new things as they find them.

Their house eves are decked out with red and white lights, while strings of white lights cover their roof and surround the windows. They have inflatables of all shapes and sizes including a monsterous Santa Claus, Nutcracker, and Snowman. Lights adorn the perimeter of their yard to help see all of their hard work.

Collington Holiday Classic House

​Jon and Beth Frankenfield of 11019 Collington Dr. (Tealby section) are the Collington Holiday House Classic Award Winners for 2022.  They have lived in Collington for 6 years. This year their kids asked for color instead of their typical all white lights and icicles. But they maintained the general aesthetic (simple lines and clean look). They took the time to test all the strands, measure everything, and figure out where each strand should go on the house. Once they had a general plan, they rented a boom lift and started the process of putting up the lights. It took most of the day to get the lights across the peaks and roofline using the lift. Then used a tall ladder for the windows and lights down the verticals. Their porch and mailbox are covered with pre-lit garland that can change color. Many extension cords later (of which figuring out the best way to run them all was one of the biggest hurdles) and the house was done. Overall, it takes several days to get everything up, but it's worth the time in the end to see the house lit up - you can see their house as soon as you turn onto Collington Drive entering Tealby.

All of their house lines including windows are outlined in simple strings of colored lights. The bushes in the front and the sidewalk are adorned with colored lights. This is a great throwback to when string lights were first becoming available to the masses and were available in a variety of colors.

    Yard & Lawn of the Month

    The three main criteria used to evaluate residential properties for the Yard of The Month are:
     
    1) Overall turf health. Is the yard being properly nourished and irrigated, and does it show a nice balance of green.

    ​2) Shrub maintenance and grooming (shaping versus shaggy)

    3) Color. Are colorful
    flowers being used to enhance the overall curb appeal of the property.
