Registrations for workshops open on March 1, 2019. We have a fantastic line up for workshops this year with something for everyone. The Angora Rabbit show had to move to another building (#28) due to construction of new buildings on the fairgrounds (check out the fairground map for their location). Be sure to visit them during the show. The sheep show and sale is back on their regular schedule (Saturday & Sunday). We have over 100 vendors (some old, some new & some moved). Be sure to visit all of the buildings (5 Buildings) maps for your favorite vendor. There will be competitions (wool show and sale, skein, and garment) for you to enter or just come and see. Kid activities and great food! Best of all: ADMISSION IS FREE!
