CATCH UP!!!

Hello all. Sorry for the absence! We had a little technical problem. All is well though and we will try to start posting again.

Much has happened since our last post I hardly know where to start...how about at the Huntington Sheep to Shawl Festival the board members attended on April 27. It was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend everyone goes next year.

Our next big event was our first bus trip to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. Can you say...

'sensory overload'? It was a great day. Here are some pictures:

It was a wonderful day of laughing, talking, walking, browsing, buying, touching and just being all together. One of the things I enjoyed the most was picking out a raffle prize. Each board member picked a little something up at the festival. On the way home everyone had a chance to win one of them. It was great fun. We are hopeful of planning another trip soon!
