Answer: A 10' x 10' patch of grass at Founder's Park for the 4th of July Celebration.

Victoria (Tori) Miller is the winner of the 'Save My Spot' Photo Contest that earned her a saved spot at the annual 4th of July Celebration next year. Tori's enty, "Hometown Pride" was selected as the winning entry by Ladera Ranch Community Services (LARCS) who puts on the events and lifestyle programming in the community. Residents who entered the photo contest submitted their best photos from the 4th of July parade. 

Next year Tori will select her spot the day before and enjoy the peace-of-mind that comes with knowing that her spot will be saved for her and her family by LARCS.

LARCS: How did you capture the photo?
TORI:    I was just snapping photos of the parade and all the participants, and enjoying the morning. 

LARCS: How long have you lived in Ladera?
TORI:    On and off since 2011. I moved to Nebraska with my family for a few years but came back to Ladera last year because we love it here!

LARCS: Your favorite 4th of July tradition?
TORI:    Watching the fireworks every year with my family. 

LARCS: What are your plans next year now that you know your spot at Founder's Park will be saved on the 4th?
TORI:    Sleeping in and having a relaxing morning before the parade!

On behalf of the LARCS board of Directors and staff, "Congratulations to Victoria on winning the photo contest and thank you to our residents who entered the 'Save My Spot' photo contest."
