Classes range from turkey calling to Brazilian needlepoint to hair braiding. Some classes, such as cake decorating, have been taught since 1970, Gorman said. Through the years, class subjects and participants have changed. Gorman said these days most participants are women, and enrollees range from farmers to doctors and lawyers. Gorman said class subjects have changed based on what people want.
Some people call and want a certain class offered.
Others call and want to teach a class. The lengths of the classes have also changed over the years, Gorman said. We used to have 12-week courses, but people are busier now and their time is more valuable, so we shortened classes to eight weeks. Non-credit classes begin and end weekly, Gorman said. We might have two ending one day and five starting the next.
