OK, now that I know I'm going to get this done in time for the competition, I'll open a thread and post a preview. Here's a picture of the covered bridge that connects the two sections of Holden's Landing.

Hey hooha, just made it eh...,
lovely scene there, that's a great looking covered bridge; there was one is someone's entry but this one looks even better. Love the path in the bottom left...
Welcome to Holden's Landing. Located at the confluence of the Pudding and Jeremiah Rivers, it is a small town (slightly less than 2,000 inhabitants) whose economy is dependent on it's small town charms. Old time shops and tree lined streets (especially gorgeous in the Fall) remind visitors of a simpler time.
First, an overview picture showing the whole town.

I hope you enjoy my little town. I sure had a lot of fun making it.
Good job! I like the way you wound the paths through the park!
good job hooha,
I think the parallel parked cars look fantastic, man that adds a lot. I agree, love the paths, what are they (the plain grey ones, without the white edge) Also your gas/cafe combo, what's that? It reminds me of the canadian sitcom Corner Gas.

Good luck :)

Thanks for the comments. thingfishs, you nailed it. That is "Corner Gas" by spa, available on the LEX. This is from the description, "To clue in any non-Canadian out there that don't have a the slightest idea what I'm babbling about, Corner Gas is a hugely successful TV show in Canada and this is a BAT of the main set located in Rouleau, Saskatchewan."
Those paths are from a SimCityKurier, available here: http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=465
The parallel parking are my modified version of the SFBT Parking Lots available on the LEX. I like the way they look as well. They work much better than my parking lots in this small town.
Hello Hooha
That is a very nice park. All the pictures are well done and I can tell you spent some time getting all the details on each picture just so. I like the stream you created. I can never get rocks to align as you do ... I need more practice I guess. You're certain to get a lot of votes as each and every snap is just icture perfect.
Good Luck.
