2014 Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame. The Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame recognizes
volunteers and staff who have exhibited outstanding service to their county 4-H
program. Poweshiek County will select an individual or couple to induct into
the 4-H Hall of Fame in a ceremony at the Iowa State Fair 4-H Exhibit building
the last day of the fair.
The individual or couple that each county selects becomes a member of the
State 4-H Hall of Fame. The 4-H Hall of Fame is an opportunity for counties to
recognize their outstanding volunteers or staff at the state level.
The deadline for names, accompanying biographies, contact information, and
photos is May 1st. Please send photos and write-ups electronically to Renny
Crawford rennyc@iastate.edu
We are asking that the biographies and photos for each inductee be sent
electronically in Microsoft Word and jpg files if possible. The bio and photo
will be placed in a three ring binder and on display at the state fair. The bio
and photo will also be available on the 4-H Foundation website
https://www.iowa4hfoundation.org/index.cfm?nodeID=31851&audienceID=1
Please make sure the bio that is written is complete and checked for
grammatical errors. What is typed on the form will be copied and pasted into
the bio pages in the binder and on the website. Also, please include on the
selection form 4 sentences that introduce and highlight why the county chose
this person for the Hall of Fame. These 4 sentences will be read when the
inductee is introduced on stage.
A letter of congratulations and invitation to the ceremony will be mailed to the
inductees from the state 4-H office in late July
We will announce the Honoree at the Poweshiek County Fair and would like to
ask that the inductee and family be there if possible. The family/nominator will
be contacted once the Honoree has been selected.
The induction ceremony at the State Fair will take place on the last Sunday
afternoon of the fair, August 17, in the 4-H Exhibit building. Because of the
extraordinary number of families and friends who attend the induction
ceremony, there are two induction ceremonies to provide a quality experience
for the inductees and their supporters. The first ceremony, for counties
Adair through Jasper, will begin at 1:30 p.m. The ceremony, for counties
Jefferson through Wright, will begin at 3:30 p.m.
