The Lucky Cove homeowners were represented by Mike and Kim Duffy, Joanna Uhler, Becky Bassett, Janette Cahoon, Julie Stickles and Faye Wilbur during the presentation of the awards.

Lucky Cove’s decorated boat is about to take to the lake just prior to last month’s Canyon Lake Parade of Lights. The Canyon Lake Yacht Club gave the boat The Best Neighborhood Boat Award recently.

Two groups of independent judges were tasked with judging for these events, one for the boat parade and a second group to judge the waterfront displays. No Club members were involved in the judging, Ron said.

“The community spirit exemplified by this one neighborhood is a great encouragement for all Canyon Lake neighborhoods,” Ron said. “The Lucky Cove folks said they’re ready to take on all competitors again next year as they work to defend their awards.”

The homeowners of Lucky Cove announced at the presentation that they will be decorating their waterfront homes for other upcoming events, including Valentine’s Day, Memorial Day, and Independence Day.
