Dick Hollman

Lancaster County 4-H is proud to announce Dick Hollman as winner of July’s “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service.

A former 4-H member, Dick started volunteering as a beef project leader for the Lone Star club at age 19. He has been a project leader with the club for 28 of the past 30 years. Usually he teaches about beef cattle, but members have also had horse projects.

He was nominated for the Heart of 4-H award by members of the Lone Star club, who wrote, “Dick has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to cattle and is always willing to answer anyone’s question and help them with their animal. We appreciate everything Dick has done for our club. He makes showing cattle fun!”

“I like being a 4-H volunteer because it allows me to see young 4-H’ers grow in knowledge, confidence and ability with their projects,” said Dick. “I especially enjoy each time I see a 4-H’ers achieve a new goal, whether it be clipping their own calf or winning a ribbon or trophy in the show ring.”

Dick lives in Hallam with his wife. Their four daughters have all shown cattle and horses in 4-H. He is a former school board member for School District 158 and has been active in the Nebraska Frontier Scouts Horse Club, Kramer Rodeo Club and the Nebraska Angus Association. He favorite ways to relax include checking cows, horseback riding, fishing and golfing.

Congratulations to Dick! Volunteers like him are indeed the heart of 4-H!
