Joe and Linda Pribek are set to become Kewaunee County’s second and third inductees into the Wisconsin 4-H Hall of Fame. The Pribeks are known for their involvement with horses, having served on project committees on the county, regional, and state levels. For over 40 years they have been involved with 4-H when they decided to become leaders after their kids joined the organization. Linda reflected on why she enjoys 4-H so much, which even includes a story about youth members taking care of her horses and decorating the barn for Christmas when she and Joe were laid up in their house with injuries. As much as she has helped 4-H over the years, Linda says the organization has given back to her so much more.
The Pribeks will be formally honored during next week’s virtual National 4-H Week celebration on October 6th. The couple joins Eugene Erichsen as the only other Wisconsin 4-H Hall of Fame laureates from Kewaunee County.
