The NYS Sheep and Wool Festival (better known to bloggers as “Rhinebeck”) takes place October 18th and 19th in Rhinebeck, NY. This year’s featured breed is the Romney.
Squeamish visitors beware: the Romney is a meat breed, not a fiber breed. One can therefore expect the displays to have a meatier focus than in previous years.
Last year’s Rhinebeck featured a massive blogger meet-up – possibly the biggest collection of knitbloggers in the world to date. (Not to mention an unofficial pre-festival Ravelry party!)
