Pacific County
The Pacific County 4-H program is still influenced by the work of long time leaders Don and Marion Vetter.
As the only veterinarian in the community, Don was the source of vet science project information. Horse member worked year-round and had frequent activities that Don could participate in. He knew all the member well and knew each horse by name or disease. Many members in the 1960’s and 70’s received their project animal from Doc Vetter. He gave away more livestock than he ever owned. It was his influence and enthusiasm that helped to start the 4-H / FFA livestock auction, from the barnyard scramble.
Marion is remembered as a visionary. Her years as the Beef wrangler’s Main Club Leader, Camp Cook, Pacific County Fair Livestock Superintendent, and 4-H Council Treasurer are important, but not as important as the example she set. Many Pacific County youth considered her a second Mom. Thanks to her, members learned public speaking for 4-H Demonstration Days in the Beef Wranglers’ Club, which made public speaking at school seem easy.
In their memory, the Pacific County Horse Program still awards the Vetter Memorial to the member with best-combined scores in record book, public presentation, and educational poster.
