Classes Invited To Tour Stanislaus County Fair
For Free!
Teachers get those calendars open because it is
time to make class reservations to tour
Stanislaus County’s largest community event.
Stanislaus County Fair class tours for grades
kindergarten through sixth grade, now in their
21st year, were created to be both
exciting and educational and afford students a
guided trip around the Fair absolutely free of
charge. The students will visit the Fair’s
all-new Rainforest Adventure, with real
animals. Some of the exotic animals that will
be there is a sloth, kinkajou and snakes. The
students will also venture over to the Recycle
Cycle, a vehicle entirely created of reclaimed
or recycled parts that is both educational and
entertaining. Another point of interest is the
4-H Farmyard Experience. This popular 10,000
square foot exhibit is where kids can explore
little things that grow in big places, and fun
facts about recycling and protecting the
environment.

July 23. The first tour begins at 8:30 a.m.
