Old Sturbridge Village Activities & Events Events: Wool Days

Three days of fiber fun at OSV at the end of May. Can you stand it?!

Plain View Farm -- #25 on the 2011 Fiber Map -- CORRECTION!

Our sincerest apologies to the Tetreaults at Plain View Farm. We spelled their name wrong! So, their email address should be: ktetreault@charter.net , NOT as it is listed on the map with no "e" after the "r".

First Spring Sheep Festival this Weekend

Spinners will be off to the CT Sheep & Wool Festival in Tolland CT this Saturday -- April 30th. It's the 102nd annual event, and such a great way to usher in the spring, and a year full of fiber fun. Just about an hour south of Worcester, the Tolland fairgrounds are right off Route 84 and include barns and fields of vendors, demonstrations, workshops, a fleece sale (!), sheep dog trials, and lots of good info. Hope we'll see some photos come back with spinners, along with great show-and-tell discoveries.

Amazing animals - serene, friendly, gentle, and soooooooo luscious."

Congratulations to Ellen and Mike!
