Mike Troy's poetry could still grace local coffee shops and other venues around town, but his reign as the town's first Poet Laureate is coming to an end.
Among the odds and ends addressed at Monday's town board meeting, board member Eric Hallman said he was in touch with Hillsborough Arts Council members to work on finding the town's next "artist laureate." This ceremonial position would have a two-year term and doesn't appear to allow re-elections.
By making the position "artist laureate," it is open to any kind of artist in town. Officials details will likely follow.
So, add that to the competitive races for the fall. Maybe we can have an "American Idol"-style competition for the title.
Who would you nominate?
