You have seen yard cards on all the lawns in South Bend. Flamingos, cows, hearts, and stars all flood your neighbors’ yard with lawn letters spelling phrases like Happy Birthday, Congrats, and Welcome home. A life size greeting card for your front lawn, what could be more fun!? That’s what Jennifer Nyikos from Fun By The Yard thought when she started her Yard Card business out of her Michiana home in 2011. From hand cut and painted signs for her friends and family to becoming the number one professional yard greeting company in Northern Indiana has been a dream come true for Nyikos.
