Hub and Peg Seward, 2020 Milford Citizens of the Year

Nominations are being accepted for Milford’s 2021 Citizen of the Year honoree.

All residents of Milford are invited to submit nominations for the individual or couple who, in their opinion, best demonstrates good citizenship through active volunteerism, participation, and actions to help make Milford the great community that it is to live, work, play and raise a family. Nominations of couples and posthumous awards will be considered by the review committee.

The Milford Citizen of the Year program is sponsored by the Arthur L. Keyes Memorial Trust in collaboration with the town of Milford.

According to Janet Langdell, one of three Keyes Trustees, “When the Milford Historical Society could no longer sponsor this awards program, it seemed like a good fit with the mission of the Keyes Trust. Judge Keyes was very clear in wanting his legacy to continue to help enrich our community and support initiatives that improve Milford now and for future generations. One way to do that is by supporting and honoring the citizens who are making good things happen in Milford on a daily basis through their community participation and volunteerism.”

Nominations can be submitted online or download a blank form at www.milfordpumpkinfestival.org/citizen-of-the-year. Printed nomination forms can be picked up at the Milford Town Hall lobby. Completed nomination forms must be returned no later than Friday Sept. 24 to: Keyes Memorial Trust P.O. Box 363 Milford, NH 03055; or in-person to Janet Langdell; or by E-mail to KeyesTrust@gmail.com. A sealed drop-off box is available in the Town Hall lobby.

The 2021 Milford Citizen of the Year recipient will be announced during the opening ceremonies of the 32nd Annual Milford Pumpkin Festival on Friday October 8th at the Oval Stage.
