County of Nevada Board of Supervisors Supervisor Robb Tucker

Truckee's literary scene is flourishing, and at its center is Karen Terrey, the newly appointed Poet Laureate of Nevada County. Terrey, a dedicated poet, educator, and mentor, officially stepped into the role following a standing-room-only ceremony at Alibi Ale Works, where she took over from outgoing laureate Kirsten Casey.

Last week, county representatives wrapped up an action-packed seven-day trip in Washington D.C. advocating to maintain federal dollars critical for local jobs, wildfire safety and insurance and the protection of the region's public lands.
