New York sheep and wool festival this weekend

This weekend is the wonderful New York sheep and wool festival, are you heading on over?

The New York State Sheep and Wool Festival is one of the largest annual gatherings of fiber-arts enthusiasts in the United States and is held each October at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, New York.

The festival was first held in 1972 and is attended by thousands of knitters, crocheters, handspinners and other craft enthusiasts. Owners of natural-fiber-producing livestock such as sheep, goats, angora rabbits, llamas, musk oxen and alpacas also attend.
