TPD honoring individuals, groups

Howard County - Do you know an individual or organization who has gone above and beyond being a cheerleader for the community? Well now is the time to show your appreciation of their time and talents by nominating them for the Times Plain Dealer’s “Citizen of the Year,” “Hall of Fame” or “Organization of the Year” within Howard County.

You probably have a person or group in mind. Why not take a little of your time to nominate that person for the hours of time they have volunteered over the year or years?

Nominations can be dropped off at the TPD office at 214 N. Elm St. in Cresco or mailed to 214 N. Elm St., Cresco, IA 52136. They can also be e-mailed to tpdeditor@crescotimes.com.
