Via the 2021 Country Living Expo Cattlemen’s Winterschool Volunteer Team:

We are very excited to announce our Virtual Country Living Expo & Cattlemen’s Winterschool will be a 3 day event, Jan. 29, 30, 31. Each day there will be 4 sessions with up to 7 classes available each session. You may register for 12 classes at this year’s Expo. We’ve lowered the adult price to $55.00 and kept our student price the same at $10.00. We chose our top performing classes and instructors according to our surveys and added 10 new classes. There were instructors who felt their hands on class would not work virtually but they have promised to be back in 2022 at the brand new Stanwood High School.

Our classes will all be offered over ZOOM. We will have a number of informational trainings walking you through downloading a FREE  Zoom account and accessing the class links we send you. We will hold practice sign ins so we know that every person can access their classes. The days of the Expo we will have online folks ready to jump in and help you if you encounter any problems. We will be there every step of the way to make sure this is successful for everyone who attends the Expo. Our intention is to record all of the classes to have available after the Expo.

Please share our event with all of your friends and family as folks from across the country are able to register for this event. For years our #1 survey response has been people asking for  the Expo to be a 2 day event which is not available to us at the High School.  There will be no worries about not having a chair in the classroom because of folks sneaking into classes that were full, the only noisy children will be your own, and you can park right outside your door. We hope you will join us at our 2021 Expo!
