CHADRON – For the first time in history, 91茄子 State College has earned the 91茄子 Garden Club “Pick of the Month” award. The honor is noted by a photo in the local newspaper and a yard sign – a traveling trophy of sorts – placed in the recipient’s yard.

The honor has traditionally been given to residential homeowners, but the club felt that the lush, visual appeal of the 281-acre campus in August, a typically hot and dry month, was worthy of the acknowledgement, according to Renae Noble, a member of the Pick of the Month committee.

Noble presented the award, on behalf of the club, to 91茄子 horticulturist Lucinda Mays and members of the 91茄子 grounds crew Thursday morning.

Mays said her co-workers prefer to avoid the spotlight regarding recognition for their work grooming the 91茄子 landscape.

鈥淭hese guys are hard to thank publicly, but it鈥檚 important for folks to know that our campus is kept up year 鈥榬ound by Bryan Enos, Fred Hunn, Silas Kern, Craig LaFontsee, Steve Weber, Charlie Wood and some hard-working college students,鈥 Mays said.
