Throughout much of the nineteenth century, the Upper Ohio Valley was the premier sheep raising area in the country, producing a high quality wool which achieved world-wide recognition.
Focusing on wool and related fiber arts, Sheep Fest had on-going traditional demonstrations of spinning, weaving, wool dyeing, felting, rug-making, bobbin lace making, quilting and knitting & crocheting; hands-on opportunities and educational displays about sheep, wool and fiber arts. Folk music was ongoing.
Sheep Fest was held annually at Weatherbury Farm for four years. Sheep Fest will not be held in 2008.
Weatherbury Farm, however, continues to offer farm vacations for folks to learn about sheep and other farming activities
