Cindy Huff, representing the McCook Community Foundation Fund Advisory Committee, presents a $5,000 grant check to John Hubert, president of the board of directors of the High Plains Historical Society and Museum of the High Plains in downtown McCook. The grant funds will match the same amount of money set aside in the historical society's budget for the renovation of the museum's railroad and McCook Gazette displays as envisioned by Sage Williams of Eddyville and Emily Frenzen of Fullerton, who were Rural Futures Institute summer interns at the museum in 2018. Members of the Foundation's advisory committee accompanying Huff to a museum board meeting Thursday morning were Ronda Graff, Peggy Been and Linda Franke. Available for a photograph at the check presentation were museum board members, from the left, Steve Lenhart, Dorothy Henton, (Graff), Hubert and Huff, (Been), Dorothy Ruppert, (Franke), Linda Hedges, Cliff Davis, Sharon Bohling and Cloyd Clark.
