[Moo] Speaking of Wool...

[Nicole Spaun]

Reminder of something non-SCA:

This weekend is the 32nd Annual Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival at the 
Howard County Fairgrounds.  It's from 9-6 on Saturday and 9-5 on Sunday.  
Admission and parking are FREE.

Having gone last year, I say that my opinion of the thing is "wow".  Not 
only to they have tens of vendors selling yarns, roving, fleeces, fabrics, 
felts, supplies, etc... but you can get about any Lamb food you'd like while 
roaming around too.  They've also got vendors selling herbs, crafts 
(baskets, soaps, ceramics, etc), and generally Artsy stuff.  While most of 
the folks take credit card, just be sure to hit the ATM before you go... 
they only had one on-site and it did run out of funds (don't ask how I know. 
  Hi there, I'm a felter *waves).  There is even one vendor I recognized 
from Pennsic, though there may have been others and I was too 
shopping-frenzied to notice.

Cheers,
~Bianca
