Walla Walla County
Robert Williams was on the Extension faculty for 29 years in five counties, and served as Chair of the staff for 27 years. During that time, he set up training workshops for livestock judging and helped 4-H members choose their 4-H projects. He started a 4-H Leaders’ Council in Walla Walla County. Many of the youth he worked with eventually became leaders themselves.
Bob developed an environmental training program for 4-H and schoolchildren. In 1946 he developed Camp Wooten, with the help of six Southeastern Washington 4-H groups and the Methodist Church. This was the first youth camp in the state of Washington. He was Camp Manager for eight years, and Camp President for 50 years. The camp is still in use by 4-H, church, and school groups.
Bob helped organize the Lincoln County Fair in Davenport. He was in charge of the Washington State 4-H delegation to National 4-H Congress in Chicago. He also was in charge of the 4-H sheep show at the Pacific International Livestock Show in Portland.
For 16 years, as Walla Walla County Agent, Bob had the major responsibility for the exhibitors portion of the fair. He was also on the Walla Walla County Fair Board for 10 years.
Bob has also been very involved in community organizations such as Kiwanis Club, Children’s Home Society of Washington, Community Service Council, Citizen’s Committee for Water Development in Walla Walla Basin and Northeastern Umatilla, Washington County Agents Association, and others too numerous to mention. He sat on the executive board of many of these organizations, and received various awards from them.
