Sheep Wool & Fiber Festival

Oooo! I'm so excited! This Saturday 4/28 is my local festival
sponsored by the Connecticut Sheep Breeders Association, Inc. It's
being held in a rural part of the state about an hour north of me (I
live down on the coast). This is my first one. Any advice out there
for me? I CAN'T WAIT!

Yes news servers can be wonderful and the bane of evil.

Ahhh yes! MONEY! and good walking shoes, a large tote bag for
treasures....I would not have thought of
most of these ideas. You guys are great! and obviously very
experienced festival crawlers.

This is a very small festival, you can see everything in about an
hour. It's fun!

Ok, I'm home again. Had a wonderful time and followed lots of your
advice. I had a large bag, money, good shoes. Looked at lots before
buying anything. I ended up buying very little (just some hot pink
roving and a skein of beautifully dyed deep red-toned fingering wool).
Next time, I'll go equiped with patterns/quantities of yarn in mind.
Fun stuff!

I had a good time at ours too....and proud of myself....no yarn but think I
have completed my needle collection, one lady was selling 5 inch dps they
were cheap $4.95 so picked up sizes 1,2 and 3....started a new pair of socks
on the 2's, they are bamboo and a very light color, never heard of the brand
ChiaoGoo. Oh and lots of alpacas.....a beautiful redbrown with her 1 month
old baby.....she was soooo cute and soft.
