Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival

www.sheepandwool.org
Oh, man. this weekend was our first time. If you haven't been and have kids and are from Maryland, you must go next year! So much fun! Here are the things my three year old got to see: just about every breed of sheep (shown 4H state fair style), border collie herding demonstrations, the entire process of sheering, carding, spinning and weaving, clothing and blankets made from wool fabric. Also, if you are a weaver or handworker (crochet, knit, etc.) it is Utopia. Beautiful things and gigantic festival. Oh, and free. you cannot beat it.
