Saturday At Waynesburg ... Rain!

Ridgetop Pottery, WV - Wonderful Yarn Bowls!
Waynesburg is known for it's annual Rain Day celebration, but it's supposed to occur in the summer! Well, yesterday, we had rain petty much all day at the 2016 Waynesburg Sheep & Fiber Fest.  It did not stop the dedicated fiber folks who came to shop.  Here's are some booth pics from yesterday ... come on down today and see what you can find!

Waynesburg Sheep & Fiber Fest Fun!

Customers At Michelle's Assortment & Kim Goodman's Punch Needle Design
It seemed that the crowds picked up on Sunday after the rain threatened all day Saturday.  The festival only got about 15 minutes of rain on Saturday!  Not so for the rest of Western PA, but the folks on Sunday said, "enough" and came carrying umbrellas just in case ...  :)
See The Little Sheep In The Middle & In The Sheep Bowl?
It seems that no one can resist touching the yarn from the unique Annadele Alpacas booth set-up running down the center aisle of the building!
Annadele Alpacas - Feel The Alpaca Yarn! 
River Ridge Fiberworks has fantastic handspun yarns, felted flowers & purses, sock yarn, and their famous, great smelling "Mothzilla" sachets, but take a look at these great glass window hangings & mirrors!
River Ridge Fiberworks - Wow!
We had several vendors spinning, felting, rug hooking, pottery decorating, & treenware carving during the festival ...

Finally, we have pictures of our fantastic Vendor Booth Award winners.  Vendors are "secretly" judged during the festival by a couple of young adults in 4-H or perhaps a mother/daughter pair who visit each booth.  Booths are judged on signage, visibility of pricing, product display, and ability of the vendor to relate to the public and describe their product or craft.  And the winners are:
