Demonstration Loop

 

 

 

Last year classes were at Shasta College Farm but the venue has grown and we have a new home at the Red Bluff fairgrounds.  This allows for double the class options, more vendors and more hands-on time.  Lunch will be available on site (including Chevon).  The prices have been lowered for attendees ($15.00 adults/$5.00 youth).  There is also a drop in price for those wanting to attend just one or two classes ($3.00 per class hour).

 

This year we are bigger and better!  We listened to attendee requests from last year.
