“LEMON BAY FEST”
2007 Young Adult Oral History Essay Contest and Reception
For
this contest, students from Sarasota and Charlotte counties interviewed
their family members and researched their family histories. In doing
this, they were able to develop more of a connection with their own
families and pasts. Over 100 students participated in the contest, and
a reception was held for the winners at the Elsie Quirk Library on
February 5th.
This
contest was sponsored by the Elsie Quirk Library, in conjunction with
the Englewood Genealogical Society of Florida and the Elsie Quirk
Friends of the Library. The
Elsie Quirk Library would like to give special thanks to Meg Potter of
Lemon Bay High School for encouraging her students to participate.
