Celebrating Another Successful 4-H Year!
2024-2025 Iron County 4-H members and leaders were recognized for their achievements at the annual Iron County 4-H achievement banquet, which took place at the Kimball Community Center on Sunday, October 26, 2025. The celebration started with an awards ceremony where members and leaders were presented certificates and project pins, followed by a dinner catered by Ratkowski’s Catering & Bakery.
Iron County 4-H Youth Development Educator, Neil Klemme discussed the success of the 4-H program and thanked the volunteers for all they do in mentoring and guiding youth members who participate in the program and recognized each of the club’s youth officers. Iron County 4-H youth members from each club assisted Klemme in presenting the certificates and awards.
In addition to that, club members spoke about their club happenings throughout the past year. Wysteria Jewell (Iron County 4-H Green Team), Nick Walesewicz & Skyler Thewis (Penokee Range Livestock Club) and Wiatt Elenbaas and Club Leader Penny Lutz (Adventurers of the North 4-H Club) shared a brief summary on behalf of their clubs.
