Touchet woman to join 4-H Hall of Fame

By the Herald staff

Lois Garbe of Touchet was one of 11 Washington residents inducted into the Washington State 4-H Hall of Fame in Ground Mound on Oct. 16. They were honored for their leadership, commitment to 4-H youth and volunteers and positive impacts in their communities.

Garbe has been a project leader for the Touchet 4-H Club for 23 years and served as a resource leader for the Walla Walla County program for 11 years. She has been a sheep and sewing leader, and organizer of many hay rides, trips to statewide sheep shows, square dances, holiday caroling and summer 4-H camps. Her significant fundraising efforts helped create an endowment fund for the Walla Walla County 4-H Leader's Council.

More than 160 people have been inducted into the state 4-H Hall of Fame since its inception in 2001.
