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.
Mary
