FARMINGTON – Molly Flanagan is the seventh recipient of the Lively Arts Award, an annual $250 cash gift to a graduating Mt. Blue High School senior, recognizing enthusiasm, discipline and promise in music.

Flanagan has performed as a cellist with the Mt. Blue High School Orchestra and the Franklin County Fiddlers, and sung with the Mt. Blue High School Chorus, Syncopations, and Mt. Blue Voices. She will attend the University of Maine this fall.

Sister and Brother Emma and Ben Lively created the award to give back to a community that supported them in their musical endeavors and to recognize talented young musicians and encourage them to continue to pursue their dreams. Emma (MBHS class of 1991) and Ben (MBHS class of 1995) are now both professional musicians living and working in New York City.
