2010 Annual Hall of Fame Essay Contest Winners
The awards were presented to two Sleepy Hollow High school sophomores, Emily Eagan and Amelia Bonvento at a late May ceremony at the Warner Library. The Library, the Historical Society of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown and the School District collaborate in sponsoring the annual contest whose entries are judged by the Library, Historical Society and the Hudson Valley Writers' Center.
Emily wrote about Cornelia Beekman, while Amelia's paper was about Minna Irving. The winners were introduced by Mary Ann Marshall of the Library and Sara Mascia of the Historical Society and given their $250 awards by Mayor Drew Fixell of Tarrytown and Ken Wray of Sleepy Hollow.
