    Judge Comment: Wow, what a lot of information for your community residents! It's a great reference tool for the year or longer. Particularly loved the dividers with a photo and quote from community members. Also appreciated the perspective of a hello and goodbye from two residents. Haven't seen that before. Also appreciated the Neighborhood zones section, which is an interesting addition more papers should do. Great work!

    Judge Comment: Great writing and collection of work. Interesting concept and I thought there would be a lot of "worsts" from 2020 available, but this was obviously a true focus on the best.
