| Annual Sheepfest Draws A Crowd The Sheepfest is an annual event held on the third Saturday of April, the perfect
time for spring shearing. Originally planned as a service to small flock owners the Sheepfest developed into a small jewel of New England fiber festivals. Close to fifty sheep are sheared of their winter's growth of fiber. Fleeces are skirted, bagged, made ready to process or to sell. Inside the hall vendors demontrate their fiber arts and are eager to teach anyone interested in learning about working with fiber. Their colorful displays show what can be done with not just wool, but alpaca, angora, mohair, and llama fiber, too. It is a fun and educational event suitable for all ages. The 15th Annual Sheepfest will be held Saturday April 18th, 2009. FMI: www.denmarksheepfest.com. |
