Each year, the Middletown Old-Tyme Peach Festival pays tribute to the fundamental role the peach industry played in the development of the town. Students in the Appoquinimink School District were invited to design the image for this year’s 25th annual festival T-shirt, and they submitted their entries in May. This year’s winner is Corina Flynn, whose original design will be given to the Historical Society of Middletown for permanent display. The design will also be seen all over town on the commemorative shirts that will be sold on Aug. 18 and afterward. Flynn said she will be a freshman at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, this August.
