Sunshine class

The Sunshine Class offers an opportunity for individuals with special needs to work in a show ring at the Kentucky State Fair. Working with a mentor, the exhibitor will show the animal and at the end, all are presented with a championship banner.

This program provides the opportunity for special needs youth to get hands-on experience with parts of the agriculture industry. The Sunshine classes have been offered at the Kentucky State Fair for the past two years.
