The Nebraska City Community Foundation announced its selection of Carol Crook as philanthropist of the year during the community street dance Saturday night.
Kathy Kaufman, News-Press publications director, nominated Crook. “Carol has been a positive, active member of the Nebraska City community who has had an impact in the lives of many community members, especially the youth,” Kaufman said.
Crook, an Otoe County commissioner who helps on the family farm south of Nebraska City, has previously been involved with the U.S. soybean board and national pork council.
