Medina’s Friends of the Cemetery is hosting its fourth annual photo contest through Oct.

25 & amateur photographers may enter original photos from Old Town Graveyard or Spring Grove Cemetery, with winners in three age groups receiving $50 gift cards, their photos displayed at the Medina Library and on the Friends website, and notifications sent by Nov. 1.

Medina Mayor Dennis Hanwell delivered his final State of the City address on Sept.8—reviewing 16 years of progress with a 70 percent rise in income tax revenue, new openings such as a Meijer store and Acme Fresh Market, and ongoing development that improved city services.
