Sears has picked Veterans Memorial Park in Long Beach as one of 10 finalists nationwide for a Blue Lawn & Garden Crew Makeover.
But the community is encouraged to vote for the park, at 101 E. 28th St., in an online contest that will determine the winning park. The winning park could be awarded $30,000.
Anyone can vote until May 5 once a day -- at www.longbeach.gov -- to help Veterans Memorial Park win.
For more details about voting, call 562.570.3233.
Sears' "More Green Across America" program offers a lawn and garden makeover for a deserving community, along with the products to help keep the space looking green for years to come. The program recognizes the important role parks and recreational areas play in all cities.
