Family Fair Day (K to 10th Grade)
Our Osceola County Fair Day is February 21st, an all-school field trip where our students will have the opportunity to engage in the community, celebrate the holiday of over 75 years of Osceola County’s rich rodeo traditions, and showcase their skills and talents through participation in the 4-H program exhibitions. This annual event is an immersive learning experience, allowing students to connect with local culture, see their work on display, and enjoy a day at the fair together with family and friends.
