In a Sheep to Shawl competition, you have 5 people, 1 sheep, and 3 hours — good luck!

At the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival, the Sheep to Shawl event is simultaneously cut-throat competitive and warm and fuzzy." This was paradise for me! My eyes feast on every booth that I walked through. It’s just amazing how creativity flows in everywhere I look. What I enjoyed the most is seeing the smile of satisfaction of people as they admire their newly acquired item. It’s like you can see heaven through their eyes. "

" I am a knitter, so I love seeing the variety of yarns for sale! My son loves seeing the sheep and goats. And my husband loves the food - especially the typical fair food and the lamb burgers! "

" I always go here to stock up on roving for spinning & the wool yarn I use to weave. There are hundreds of vendors from all over the country selling incredible textiles, yarns, antiques & hand crafted items. "

" There's plenty of fair food to be had there, not to mention some tasty lamb from a few vendors. For the best food, go in the 4-H building and either purchase a BBQ sandwich or a leg of lamb sandwich. Yum! "

" Lots of animals to pet, sheepdog trials to watch, music, fairground food, shearing demonstrations, storytelling, wool spinning demos - fascinating, and it's outdoors, so the kids can be as loud as they want. "
