Introduction/Background
In 2017, Cottage Grove Resident Sarah Miner presented the concept and volunteered to lead the Path
to Poetry program. She has declined to lead the program in 2018.
Submissions were received from May 1 through July 1. Submission forms were located on the Arts
Commission webpage (within City of Cottage Grove website) and emailed to
cgpathtopoetry@gmail.com. A panel of judges narrowed the entries to the top 10 poems. From there,
the Arts Commission chose the winning poem. A stencil was ordered and the poem was painted onto
the trail at Pine Tree Valley Park at the request of the writer.
Commissioner Cheesman has offered to Chair this event in 2018.
