2024 Lassen 4H Hall of Fame: Inductee #2 Arlan and Wanda Mallery

All week long on SusanvilleStuff, in celebration of National 4-H Week, we will be featuring this year’s four inductees into the Lassen County 4-H Hall of Fame.

The second inductees into our Lassen County 4-H Hall of Fame is a husband-and-wife team. This couple truly embodied community support and love for their family.

Arlan and Wanda Mallery were chosen for the Hall of Fame because of their participation and continued support of the 4-H program for over fifty years. From participating and leading to supporting the 4-H Junior Livestock Auction and being Platinum sponsors.

Arlan was a 4-H member from 1949-1958. He was a member in both the sheep and beef projects. His favorite memory of 4-H was the summer camps. He said he would have to earn $12 to go to camp for an entire five days at Lake Tahoe.

Wanda was not a 4-H member; however, she was the Johnstonville leader for fifteen years as her four kids went through the program. She loved being involved in her kids’ lives and loved doing things with them and their friends. She was the club leader and also led the sheep, sewing, cooking, and arts and crafts projects.

Arlan believes that 4-H is a great way to get involved in your community. It teaches kids how to be responsible and helps kids to make lifelong friendships with other 4-H’ers.

When asked why kids should join 4-H, Arlan said that it is a great way to get involved in the community, it teaches kids to be responsible, and you can make lifelong friendships with fellow 4-Hers.

In 2023 Arlan and Wanda were awarded the honor of being the Lassen County Fair Grand Marshalls and led the fair parade down Main Street Susanville.

Arlan and Wanda are so very deserving of the Hall of Fame recognition. It has been a true honor having their support all these years in our 4-H Program.

It’s an honor, Arlan, to induct you and Wanda as our second members into the Lassen County 4-H Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
