8/31/14 - Area students are again being invited to take part in an essay contest sponsored by a local library. The Cromaine District Library in Hartland is again seeking entries for its annual Grant Sweet Memorial Essay Contest. Students will need to interview a soldier or veteran, learn about what their service means to them and then share it in a 250-word essay. The contest is open to all Livingston County middle and high school students in grades 7 through 12, as well as homeschoolers working at those grade levels. The contest is done in memory of the libraryâs former building manager, Grant Sweet. The award for first prize is now $300, second prize is $200 and third place award is $100. Essays must be submitted to Cromaine Library in the Village by 8pm November 4th to be judged by a panel. Cash prizes of $300, $200, $100 will be awarded and winners must read aloud their essays at Cromaine Library on Monday, November 10th. Essays will be published in Hartland Area Community Councilâs Memorial Day Parade Booklet next spring. (JM)
