I am going to Sheepfest 2007 in Denmark,ME on April 21. It is a day event that will have sheep, shearing, food and various events. I thought I'd find out if anyone nearby would like to go and join the festivities and enjoy a little farmgirl fun.

This sounds like SUCH my cup of tea - but I'm a country away here in Utah. Birdi - you'll have to give a report when you return! What fun!
XOXO, Libbie

Ohh yes,Libbie! I am so excited. I will probably be going alone as crowds are not hubbys cup of tea. I told him, its a good thing they don't sell them at this festival or I might have a lamb coming home with me. I drive a station wagon and its an hour away...could be an interesting ride. Who knows. Could happen! I plan on taking pictures because I can't go anywhere or do anything without the camera. I'll post after its over.

Hey Birdi, how far is it from Bangor ME? I am in Nova Scotia, but was in NewBrunswick for more than 20 years, and Bangor is only about 4 hours.
I would be willing to go for a drive. Bringing home a sheep in a station wagon would be up my alley....I have brought home (to FIL) five baby cows in hubby's car. Not all at the same time, but whenever I leave the house, he asks if I am going to be picking up any livestock. 
I have brought home goats, chickens, and turkeys as well (in a pet carrier)

MJ, I'd love for you to be able to join me..it would be great to meet a farmgirl and have some fun! Now, the bad news...I am 2 hrs from Bangor...and and hour for me to get to sheepfest...it is on the NH border in Denmark,ME. It would be a very long trip for you, but if you really were up for it...maybe we can make arrangements or something.

Sorry Birdi, but that would be more than 6 hours of driving (one way) all alone.
I will be there with you in spirit, so enjoy, and take pictures please...

I figured as much. And michele, I will have to check on the one in Sept. June 9-10, I think there is a fiber frolic festival on the coast here in Maine.. All things fiber and many events. Its a yearly event and with any luck, I will get to that one as well. That one has spinning classes and judging and project making..A very full w/e of events. It may be a difficult time for me then and even though this one is smaller...at least I will be able to attend. I'm very excited, and will take lots of pics.

Birdi, the one in Sept. in Vermont is in Essex Junction. It used to be in Killington in Oct. but I guess it outgrew that space and now its in Sept. due to the weather. Its great, I love it so much.
