Congratulations to Doris and Randy McAllister for being inducted in the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame today at 1:30!
Randy and Doris McAllister have been longtime supporters of Delaware County 4-H and local youth programs. From 1997 to 2012, they served as leaders of the North Fork Wildcats 4-H club, helping members learn new skills, prepare projects, and participate in club and fair activities.
Doris began her own 4-H involvement in Dubuque County, where she participated in dairy, sewing, food, and science projects. She later served as a club leader there from 1982 to 1984 before becoming involved in Delaware County 4-H. Randy also participated in Delaware County 4-H as a youth, showing livestock and remaining active in the program over the years.
In addition to leading the North Fork Wildcats, Randy and Doris were active
members of the Delaware County Pork Producers, serving on the board for
over 10 years. They assisted with the swine show and annual pie auction,
helping support youth programs and county fair improvements.
Their involvement in 4-H became a family tradition. Their four
children−Gayle, Matt, Kelly, and Kyle−were all nine-year members of
Delaware County 4-H and participated in a variety of projects and activities.
Since 1997, Randy and Doris have also volunteered in the 4-H food stand
and supported many county events through their time and involvement. Over
the years, they have been known for their willingness to help, encourage
young members, and support the continued success of the 4-H program in
Delaware County.
Congratulations and Thank You to Doris and Randy!
