The awards ceremony for the Timothy Mumford Poetry Competition drew a large audience at the Cornwall Public Library. The award winners and their parents were there. But they weren’t the only ones. Every year friends of the Mumford family attend the ceremony as a tribute to the young man who died in his sleep in 2006.
More than 70 people participated in the contest. The winners were Clara E. Sanford (ages 5-6), Adalyn Brown (7-9), David Michael Kramer (10-12), Ellie Barth (13-15), Katelyn Lipton (16-18) and Wyatt McNabb Phillips (best overall).
