Sure, I love seeing the yarns, needles, and everything else. But I will admit that this year, I had no specific thing I wanted to find. I figured if I saw yarn that just really called out to me, I'd buy it, but since I have plenty of yarn I decided I would not buy something just for the sake of buying it. What I always really like the best is seeing all of the animals! Sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, bunnies, dogs - it's the best time, period.
Here are some of the photos I took this year.
My friend, DC, likes the animals and the yarn, but was particularly excited when she saw this!
"Well, hello ladies!"
This looks like true sheepy contentedness to me.
This is a one-month old baby goat. Oddly enough, the guy holding him would not let me take him home with me. Go figure.

So, what did I buy? I've decided to save that for another post. I just want you to enjoy seeing what the day was like, just being there. It was perfect weather, and with perfect weather, good friends, and all the animals, it just doesn't get better than that. It was truly one of the best days ever.

Looks like great fun. I grew up on a farm, so I'd gravitate toward the animals, too. Such fun to rub their heads and stroke their backs.
Bridget- It looks like a great time this year. I will visit one day.
Isn't it better when you have no agenda? Much less frenzied.
I love the alpaca's. All of your images are great! I'm a sno cone fan all the time!
What fun! I love going to events like that. It sounds like it was the perfect day for it.
Excellent! The animals are always my favorite part of a fiber festival!
I bet it was loads of fun to visit the festival. I would have loved seeing all those precious animals and of course all the yarn.
Hugs,

I have a soft spot for llamas and alpacas, too. They are both exotic and beautiful.
I love wool festivals, but have missed the last few in Wisconsin. Your photos are inspiring me to make sure I make it this year.
I really must go there some day. Your pictures are awesome. Glad you got to go this year.
Looks like a blast! I love the photos of the animals, especially, with the little haircut tufts on top of their heads. Your friend DC exudes the happy in that photo! I would happily take a snowball concession!
I have got to get to a Fiber Festival this year! Love those photos, they are so darn cute!
