While the festival has officially ended, all of the web pages -- including the Virtual Vendor Marketplace, Virtual Fleece Sale, and Virtual Breed Display Barn -- will remain up until next year, so feel free to come back and visit any time. Our Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival Online Community Facebook group (www.facebook.com/groups/mswfOnlineCommunity) will continue to be active, too. Some vendors will continue to post specials throughout the year (hint: it's a great place to look for holiday gifts). ![]()

We hope that those of you who may have only learned of us through our virtual events in the past two years will join us in person in 2022. The virtual event can't hold a candle to what we do in person. There's really nothing like it. You'll have to just come and see for yourself!![]()
