Kluge Inducted in WI 4-H Hall of Fame

Sauk County 4-H celebrates Marla Kluge's prestigious induction into the 2025 Wisconsin 4-H Hall of Fame. Marla recently retired from her long-held role as the Leaders’ Association treasurer, a position she occupied since 1995. Marla was instrumental in establishing a county-wide scholarship program, providing vital financial support for 4-H members to engage in valuable educational opportunities.

She joins a distinguished legacy of Sauk County 4-H leaders previously honored, including Melanie Miller, Eileen Eberle, Judy Lewis, Kay Hobler, Dorothy Harms, Bob Leopold, and Dr. Walter Bible.

Below, Marla holds a sing of appreciation for Skillet Creek 4-H Club during the induction ceremony.

Fair Exhibit buildings showcase that amazing talents and skills of Sauk County Youth. Each day we ask for volunteers to be a building host for 1 hour shifts (or more!). Everyone can host! For those under 12 years old, we kindly ask that you bring a parent or guardian to assist you during your shift. You can also sign up as a family to host both buildings.

Building Host Sign Up!

Your club has an assigned food stand shift, but we have one additional shift that needs filled. Fair is such a busy time for many 4-H members, and Thursday is the busiest day in the show ring. Please considering helping in the food stand for partor all of the 12:45-4:45 shift. Thank you!
