2010

Member of the Rio Livestock 4-H Club; 15 year leader of the Cloverleaf 4-H Club

Carl Erickson was an active 4-H leader, volunteer and parent for nearly two decades in Knox County. His first involvement began as a member and then club leader when the oldest of his four children began 4-H and the current leader was looking to find and train a suitable replacement. His volunteer work continued even after his years as a club leader ended. He also served many years on the County Extension and 4-H/Youth Councils. Carl's greatest satisfaction from his 4-H work was his opportunity to see new members grow through their involvement in 4-H activities. He has enjoyed seeing this happen with his four children and now eight grandchildren. Congratulations, Carl!
