Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame



Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame
4-H is a family affair with the Schulte family. Greg joined his father’s 4-H club, the Woodcenter Eagles at the age of 9. He later was elected to the Clayton County 4-H Council. Greg served as a volunteer leader for over 30 years as a 4-H leader or member of the Youth Committee. He also has served on the Clayton County Extension Council. Deb was never involved with 4-H as a youth but got involved thru Greg's involvement after they married. She is a former Leader of the Woodcenter Eagles and former member of the Youth Committee. Greg and Deb have 4 children, Cameron, Carmen, Craig, and Caren. All were 4-H members and all served on the Clayton County 4-H Council. The whole family still assists in some way at either the Clayton or Delaware County Fair. Cameron, Carmen, and Craig's spouses were also involved in 4-H as was Caren's fiancee. Greg and Deb have 3 grandchildren and are patiently awaiting the time they can join 4-H. Greg is currently a member of the Youth Committee, Clayton County 4-H Foundation Committee, and Knights of Columbus.
