Westlake in Bloom Celebrates 2024 Winners

Residential Landscaping – Entire Yard, Large First Place: Marian Ext and Dr. Roger Mansnerus with Ava and Colin Ext

Nothing celebrates community like the beautification of its yards, streets and landscapes like Westlake Bloom.

Westlake honored its annual winners this month, recognizing the home and business owners who invest their time and talents into the natural beauty of its landscapes.

Mayor Dennis Clough again hosted the ceremony held at the Westlake Community Center. This year’s top honor, the Lu Walter award, went to Marian Ext and Dr. Roger Mansnerus with Ava and Colin Ext.

The top three winners in a variety of categories were recognized. Congratulations to all who participated to make Westlake a beautiful and desirable community.
