New York State Sheep and Wool Festival

Good Morning!                                                               

Thank God it is Friday!


Today kicks off one of the biggest, if not THE biggest fiber festival in the North East.

New York State Sheep and Wool Festival

 in Rhinebeck, N.Y.

Many people I know plan for and make the pilgrimage each year as a regular vacation/festivity. Meeting friends from out of state and spending the entire three days attending workshops, attaining hard - to - find materials and generally seeing what wondrous fiber-y things others have crafted together and offer for sale.

Here, in one place ,you can find everything from sheep to fiber rabbits and even a generous number of fall activities for the kids.

The Finnsheep breed will be represented and members of the FBA will be on hand to discuss this multi-purpose breed. Please look for them in the Sheep tent, and drop in to say Hello.

Among the events that will take place this weekend will be the
annual meeting of the Finnsheep Breeders Association.

Members will get together in person as well as via telephone to address matters relevant to the operation, general policies and to vote in new board members.

The Finnsheep Breeders Association has been in existence since 1971 and has overseen the registry and development of Finnsheep in the USA for over 30 years.

While we won't be physically present at NYS Sheep and Wool Festival this year, we encourage any who can go to do so, especially if you are a fiber addict!!!! 
We will be there in spirit!
