The Insider did not get many participants, but instead we got two great locals who did a fabulous job with the Presidential Debate Haiku challenge! And to our surprise and delight we got a bi-partisan response! Our first thought for prizes was cheese with our logo - in homage to government issued blocks of cheese, but the submissions were so good we are offering more "beefy" prizes and choose 2 contest winners! The Insider staff will be mailing Jane Flanders Majewski and John Brush (aka SteadyJohn) each $15 Gift Certificates to Five Guys Burgers and Fires on Washington Street! Thanks to both Middletown poets!
