DeWitt, Piatt County 4-H Volunteers Receive Hall of Fame Awards

Megan Barth of Clinton and Dr. Nathan Pyatt of Cisco received the Illinois Foundation 4-H Hall of Fame Award during a virtual ceremony last week representing this year's nominees from DeWitt and Piatt Counties. 

 

DeWitt County 4-H Program Coordinator Lindsey Burden calls Barth (pictured right) an asset to DeWitt County 4-H and describes her as always willing to lend a hand when asked and always happy to do so. Barth was a nine-year 4-H member and has been a co-leader for the Salt Creek Clovers for seven years. She has served on the DeWitt County Foundation for the past 12 years and has been the Communications Fair Superintendent for the past four years. Megan also served four years on the Unit Extension Council. 

 

 

Piatt County 4-H Program Coordinator Jan Wenke indicates Dr. Pyatt (pictured left) has served as a volunteer leader for the Cisco Clovers 4-H Club for many years and inspires youth to step out of their comfort zone to take on leadership roles within the club. 

 

 

This year, the Foundation recognized 87 individuals for their dedication to 4-H, the University of Illinois Extension youth development program. In total, more than 15,000 volunteers fill key leadership and mentoring roles in Illinois 4-H programs.
