The Connecticut Sheep, Wool & Fiber Festival celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2009 and we are growing. The festival started in 1909 by the CT Sheep Breeders Association as a program "to promote the keeping of sheep in Connecticut" by visiting farms and eventually to a one day event held at UCONN. It has evolved and expanded into a premier sheep and fiber festival. This event is family friendly agricultural and learning experience for the general public as well as shepherds and fiber enthusiasts. Join her for the program designed for youth ages 7-12, but all are welcome. Activities will include a fiber craft, an interactive STEM lesson on sheep digestion, breed comparisons, and condition scoring.

Cost : Admission is $10/person, Children under 12 are free
