A Christian County resident has been inducted into the 4-H Hall of Fame. Nicole Bailey was inducted into the 4-H Hall of Fame during the Illinois State Fair on August 10. Bailey spent nine years co-leading and leading the Tri-County Kids Club, inspired by her children’s passion for the program. She worked to create an environment where members could grow, learn, and develop a love for 4-H.

Bailey says she got involved to make sure her kids had a positive and meaningful experience, and she’s proud to have supported them every step of the way. The University of Illinois Extension says volunteers like Bailey make it possible for 4-H to continue offering opportunities for young people in the community.
