One of the most jam packed weekends I submit myself and my business to is vending at the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY. Packing and unpacking makes this a 4 day affair, and by this afternoon at 4 pm Countrywool will be unpacked, organized and back to business as usual.
But the festival is full of knitting and spinning energy and inspiration as well as new angora rabbits. I truly love being there and getting a chance to catch up on seeing everyone (gossip) and new products/stuff/businesses. I always see lots of folks who have angoras that were born here, and I enjoy saying hi, and catching up on how they are all doing.
I don't normally buy rabbits at fairs but Angela at Fiberworks had great luck last year with a doe purchased from Twin Pond Farms in PA, so I went and got one there. Vanessa, (named by my daughter for Johnny Depp's significant other) has been happily munching hay here since Saturday. Pictures will come tomorrow.
There is no litter news as of yet. Perhaps when I feed everyone shortly there will be something to report. Stay tuned!
