A DeWitt County volunteer was honored for their service as a 4-H volunteer. Dave Ferguson of DeWitt county was one of 71 volunteers recognized by the Illinois 4-H Foundation as a 4-H Hall of Fame recipient during a ceremony Saturday, Aug. 14 at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield.
This year celebrated the 14-year anniversary of the award, said Angie Barnard, Illinois 4-H Foundation executive director.
The Illinois 4-H Foundation established the statewide Hall of Fame in 2004 to honor and celebrate extraordinary 4-H alumni, volunteers, and former 4-H staff. Each inductee received a commemorative Hall of Fame medallion.
