The Country Living Expo is proud to partner with Lamb 200, a WSU Extension all-day course about teaching participants how to raise and evaluate high quality farm-to-table lamb.

If they wish, participants can take this course on Friday, January 25 and then continue
their education with similar topics at the Country Living Expo. They can register for both
at once if agreeable to the Expo courses suggested by Lamb 200,
or register separately for each to choose their own classes for the Expo.
