ATTA BOY! 

The Sunshine Book Company hosted the Sarah Tirri Children’s Foundation’s Media Celebration Event on February 3. Clermont Mayor Tim Murry welcomed guests, and University of Illinois Professor Emeritus Timothy Shanahan was the morning’s guest speaker. Sarah Tirri then announced the foundation’s 2022-’23 “Travis the Tent” writing contest winner — 11-year-old Noah Fraguela from Lady Lake — and presented him with $500, a victory cake, trophy, and copy of his newly published book, now available on Amazon. The event was filmed for a public service campaign to promote children’s literacy.
