The Illinois 4-H Foundation annually
recognizes one 4-H volunteer per county for exemplary service to the
Illinois 4-H program as a Hall of Fame winner. This year, 83 new
members were inducted into the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame, the
largest inductee class to date.

This year celebrated the 13-year anniversary of the award, said
Angie Barnard, director of the Illinois 4-H Foundation. The
ceremony was held Saturday, August 12 in the Orr Building on the
Illinois State Fairgrounds.
“These long-time volunteers fully embody what 4-H strives to
instill in youth,” Barnard continued. “They are caring,
dedicated, generous leaders. The Illinois 4-H Foundation is
extremely proud to be able to provide this honor to each and
every one of them, and we thank them for their service to this
wonderful organization. As a result of these volunteers’ years
of service and leadership to Illinois 4-H,” Barnard said, “the
program they love will continue to create brilliant futures for
the young people whose lives it touches.”
