Rocky Ridge Neighborhood Association created the Volney Rogers Emerald Pierogi Award, which recognizes the exceptional improvements of a resident’s property, be it home, landscape, garden, or property beautification.

This award embodies the spirit of Volney Rogers. Just as he preserved the natural beauty of Mill Creek Park, so do our neighbors try to keep Rocky Ridge beautiful. The Emerald Pierogi also celebrates the vibrant ethnic cultures that once took root in the neighborhood years ago.

While awarding the Emerald Pierogi has been an annual point of pride for our neighbors’ efforts, unforeseen circumstances have paused this initiative a few times since our first award was given in 2011. We look forward to carrying on this deserving and heartwarming tradition in the future!

Nominations are open each summer from June 1 through July 31.
