JSBA AGM

I wrote blog posts about getting ready for AGM but was overwhelmed with too many photos to sort (and other parts of life) to do more until now.                The handwoven Jacob wool goodie bags were ready, filled with locally made or grown products.The friendly parking attendant was ready. Sheep were given last minute instructions about behavior. (Karen Lobb from bide a wee Farm in Oregon)Guest were arriving.Our first gathering was a welcome by me and then a talk/book reading by Farm Club member Stephany Wilkes.  She read passages from her book, Raw Material, Working Wool in the West, to be published in October. This introduced the attendees to the concept of Fibershed and to Farm Club all at once.Next it was time for dinner. Farm Club member, Kim, provided background music throughout dinner and we were told how much people enjoyed listening to her.

The after-dinner entertainment was Project Runway, Jacob Style where we modeled garments made of Jacob wool.Most participants led sheep (some willing and some not so much) down the barn aisle... ...but Dona led Rick......willingly?

 Doris was the recipient of the People's Choice award.

This was only the start to a full weekend of sheepy fun!
