Community Classes

Join us for our new Community Classes, designed to bring people together through hands-on learning and fun experiences during the Reno County Fair.

All classes require pre-registration, and participants must have a ticket reserved prior to the event, as space is limited.

Classes will be held in the Oz Building, with most sessions taking place on Saturday and Sunday. Select classes, such as Sip & Paint, may be offered at additional times.

Come Join and Fun!
