It's Fair Season - Meet us at the Gwinnett Fair!

The Gwinnett Fair is open Sept 12th through the 22nd

The sheep show is on Sunday the 15th at 12 noon. Border Collie herding is on September 18th at 7:30 pm. Wool judging is Thursday, September 19th. There is no time listed on the website but in the past it has been at 10 am.

Open sheep show is also on Thursday the 19th at 5 pm.

Ga Sheep will host a Fleece Show and Sale. Fleeces will be on display all week. Ga Sheep members can bring up to 8 fleeces to the fair: a maximum of 4 fleeces to be judged plus 4 more that can go straight to the sales floor. All fleeces must be clearly marked as "For Sale" or "Not for Sale" and have a price listed on the items for sale.

But it's not just fleeces! As a GA Sheep member, if you have items made from your sheep’s wool, you can offer them for sale at the booth. Last year, little items and samples were in demand. Examples include: felted soap kits, wool wreaths, dryer balls, wooly gnomes. nesting balls, cat toys, knitted hats, yarn, and knitting / crochet / weaving tools. Women, families with kids and curious teenagers were the primary customers.

Demonstrations such as spinning, knitting, felting, or weaving really attract a crowd. Let us know if you wish to participate and have farm sales.

One of the greatest values is the informal member network. Membership opens the door to meet other shepherds, see other farms, and learn about different breeds of sheep and production models. As you become more involved in the association, you’ll find people who are willing to take that early morning lambing call and to share the wisdom of experience.
