Best Entryway Award
Congratulations to Lee and Shannon Power for The Best Entryway Award for the holiday season of 2020. A committee of Garden Club members rotate seasonally through Fuquay-Varina neighborhoods in search of inviting entryways. It doesn’t matter if your ‘style’ of décor is rustic, whimsical, or elegant; we look for one household with seasonal interest and color. Located at 1605 Lakestone Drive Lee and Shannon have created a festive entrance with an inviting entryway that begs you to come in for some holiday warmth.
