Two 4-H leaders from Kewaunee County will join elite company as part of the newest class of Wisconsin 4-H Hall of Fame laureates.

Lisa Cochart and Millaine Wells are among the 11 new inductees in the state’s 4-H Hall of Fame, which celebrates the organization’s volunteers, financial supporters, staff and pioneers who have made significant contributions to the movement at the local, state and national levels.

Wells balances her career in television at WFRV-TV with serving as a 4-H leader with the Pilsen Skylighters. The winner of the Kewaunee County 4-H Outstanding Leader Award last year, Wells has been instrumental in helping the county’s Cloverbuds and LEGO project program flourish.

Cochart is a lifelong 4-H member and is active in the organization’s state dog project. The owner of Casco Kidz Zone, Cochart said it is an honor to be inducted alongside others like Wells, who “bleed green” when it comes to 4-H and everything it offers area youth.

Cochart and Wells join 4-H founder Random Asa Moore, Eugene Erichsen, and Linda and Joe Pribek as Wisconsin 4-H Hall of Fame laureates.

Theresa Kinnard of Door County is also a member of the 4-H Hall of Fame. The organization will celebrate its newest members April 18 in Rothschild.
