Naturally there were lots of sheep...
and lambs galore!
And alpacas...
We also got to watch them shear an alpaca...
There's a lot of fibre in that back and they aren't even half done!
They had herding demonstrations too. It was fun to watch the dogs work, but I especially loved this guy...
Just sitting, waiting patiently for his turn to herd! You'd never get Ladydog to sit like that if there was was something to chase!
There was a small marketplace, so Mom and I indulged in some homemade ice cream - in a handmade waffle cone! And you know were weren't coming home without wool!
Mom snagged some lovely bamboo, alpaca, and some BFL. But I was feeling a little more conservative...
We are thinking of vending there next year - I'll keep you posted if we go for it!

Looks like fun
Oh, it's been a long time since I went to a fiber arts fest! So much wool, so little time....
Oh that poor just-sheared alpaca. I know it doesn't hurt them, but I would imagine that if they knew what they looked like they wouldn't to be immortalized in a picture.
I didn't know Grimsby had a FiberFest. Was it well attended?
Vending at a Fiberfest-how exciting!
I did not kow about this fibre fest. I must look into it next year. It would be a nice drive.
Sounds like fun!
Awesome! I like the smaller venues, easier to get around and see things.
