The winners of the judged lighting contest were announced this weekend.

Malachite Avenue takes the gold with two properties ranking: one gets "Best in Town" and one Honorable Mention. Two other honorable mentions were awarded - one on Copper Drive and another on Azurite.

The 8-member judging team consisted of both Tyrone residents and locals from the American Legion. Many thanks for their participation.

Tyrone is shining bright this season. Thanks to all who help bring some holiday fun and light up the townsite.

Merry Christmas!

Check out the Events coming up the weekend of December 20. There are some special activites planned for Tyrone residents! Join us!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and Happy New Year to All!

All are invited to register their decorated home on the Christmas Prism app. Add your house to the 'Tyrone NM Holiday Lights 2025' contest. It's just for fun and you do not have to use the app in order to decorate, of course. Tyrone has a long tradition of lighting up the holidays for the enjoyment of neighbors far and wide and the app helps people find where the lights are.

We do encourage you to try out the app whether to list your house as a participant or to vote for your favorite. It also allows you to map out a route in order to not miss someone.

Download the App on your phone where you can:

• Register your house for others to find on their light-viewing excursions
• Add your house to the light contest
• Find other houses in Tyrone that are "lit"
• Follow the app map to see them all
• Vote and/or like your favorites

Goatheads suck. We all know this. And our parks all full of them. Unfortunately, goathead abatement can take years, even with constant attention. That being said, the board has engaged with Gila Vegetation Control to begin addressing the problem. Kyle at Gila Vegetation will be spraying (and has been out a couple of times already this summer). Our own groundskeeping team is mowing and rolling to pick up the stickers. We are grateful for volunteers who have come out to assist around the playground, as well.

It is a difficult and neverending project, but we all want to be able to enjoy our parks again, so it is worth it. Please bear with us as we move forward in this slow and arduous process. It can be done!
