Duane and Vicky Fisher of West Chester were recognized on July 20th at the Washington County Fair as Washington County’s 2023 4-H Hall of Fame inductees. They will enter the 2023 Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the 4-H Exhibits Building at the Iowa State Fair on Sunday, August 20th. Each Iowa county is invited to nominate a recipient annually who is recognized again formally by the Iowa 4-H Foundation. The Fishers will be recognized at 3:30 p.m. in the 4-H Building on the Iowa State Fair Grounds. A reception will follow the presentations. Duane and Vicky Fisher have been a dynamic duo for Washington County 4-H, paving a path where there was none. They were the start to the 4-H goat department in 2006 and the annual 4-H pancake breakfast in 2009. Many inductees served as club leaders, youth mentors, fair superintendents or fair board members, Iowa State University Extension county council members, county youth council members, fair judges, financial supporters, chaperones or ISU Extension and Outreach staff members. The inductees have demonstrated dedication, encouragement, commitment and guidance to Iowa’s 4-H’ers through the years. The Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame was initiated in 2002 to help commemorate the 100th anniversary of 4-H.
