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.
