| Very Cool Sheep Signs! |
Finally, a report from the Waynesburg Sheep & Fiber Fest LAST weekend! Have I told you about the sheep signs before on this blog? They are sponsored by businesses and gather contest votes for favorite sign prior to the festival. Prizes are awarded, but that's not my area so I'm not up on the details, lol! They all have a little dry erase board on them and they're used all over the festival for directional signage.

| Waynesburg Sheep & Fiber Fest - Fleece To Shawl Contest |
The Fleece to Shawl Contest had 3 teams entered for the competition on Saturday. Each team has a different theme and you can see the results above. The Loyalhanna Guild has a sea theme and here they are at work!

There were also a lot of entries this year in the fiber arts contest and here are a few in pictures from the hand-spun skeins category.

Overall, the weather was good - no rain to speak of until about 3:30 on Sunday afternoon, and then it cleared up as the vendors were packing to leave. Even the sheep signs weren't having any trouble with the weather and the alpacas were working the crowds!

More pictures in the next post ... after a week of t-storms and lambing chores here at home, it's off to the Great Lakes Sheep & Wool Show in Wooster, Ohio tomorrow. We have Rambouillet wool to drop off with Zeilinger Wool to be made into our Wild Rose Farm combed top ... just spent most of the day in the barn skirting fleeces.
