Updates
Monday, May 17th, 2010It’s been a while since I last wrote. So, I’ll try to get everything caught up here.
FAAF is on Facebook now and we are posting snippets of different things every day. It has been great to interact with so many people about their likes and wants about different aspects of fiber art. I look forard to keeping people up-to-date.
Our June event is growing. We have been receiving exhbitor’s application just about every day now for the last week. I expect more to come in as the date gets closer. Since it is an outdoor event, many exhibitors wait until the last minute to send in their application. This has the added benefit of knowing (or at least the forecast) weather will be for that day. However, our spaces are first-paid first-served. So, those who get their applications in first, get the spaces closest to the incoming customers.
For the October event, we have booked a sheep judge and we are looking for a few good volunteers to assist with just about every aspect of the event. I should have the sheep show application up on the website in the next few days.
In regards to farming, we have had a wonderful crop of lambs this spring. Just about every color and shade that Icelandic sheep come in, we seem to have this year. Definitely more rams than ewes this year. But, they are all fun to watch.
We started a small brood of Black Australorp chickens too. Twice daily, I go out and feed and water them in their heated tank. It will be nice when they can go out and wonder around with the rest of the hens. They should lay brown eggs throughout their life.
Well, only a few weeks until the June event. I’m looking forward to it!
