Good morning,

Barbara perfectly described the setting and ambiance at "Cummington," as 
many call it. This year is the 35th for the Festival, so it's been 
around just one year shy of Maryland. The web site is working this 
morning, http://www.masheepwool.org/aboutus.htm

 From the web site:

            Shepherds, spinners, weavers, and other fiber artists come 
from all over the Northeast to
demonstrate their skills and sell their handmade fiber products. But the 
sheep are the real stars of it all,
and there will be hundreds of them attending, both meat and wool breeds.
           They will be joined by a host of other fiber animals, 
including angora rabbits and goats,
llamas, and maybe even a yak or two!
            Other festival highlights include sheep dog trials, spinning 
and weaving contests,
a fleece sale, fiber workshops, a shearing service, live music, and 
workshops for kids.
Breakfast and lunch items will be available at the food booth, including 
the popular lamb bits.
