Meet the Sheep--Getting Ready

Meet the Sheep is our annual open house when we invite the public to meet our sheep, learn about fiber and hopefully become fiber enthusiasts. I couldn't do this without the Farm Club. FC members spent the day here on Friday helping clean up and set up. After everyone left on Friday Dan did the final clean-up of moving the piles of things that accumulate on a farm (pallets, disc, un-burned burn pile) and the place looked great. These photos were all taken by Dona on Saturday morning. We parked in the back but there was a line before I got the sheep locked out of that area. "Put it there.""It's this one." We selected sheep for petting and display. FC has already made a "naughty list" of ewes who were NOT to be used for petting.Signs went up.  Amaryllis went into her own pen...

 ...with her own sign.

 Faulkner is in a pen next to Amaryllis so he got his own sign.

 We gathered up some ewes and lambs to put outside where people could get close to them.Others were in a pen in the barn and FC members lifted up lambs for people to pet.

Jackie set up her Sheep to Shop booth...

 ...and Colleen was here with Fiber Confections.

 Julie Kuroki brought her French Angora bunnies and Angora kids along with a lot of display material. (Photos in the next post.)We're ready for the day!
