Ok, I know it’s wrong, but I want to go to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival at some point because a co-worker of mine whose wife is really into the knitting said that he goes because of the lamb kebobs. Yes, not only do they fleece ‘em, but they then grill them as well (that’s sadistic and friggin’ awesome in my book). The festival takes place May 2-3, 2009 (this weekend!) at the Howard County Fairgrounds in Friendship, Maryland. There’s all kinds of events from spinning and dyeing classes to felt making and weaving demonstrations. Hell, there’s even a sheep beauty pagent of sorts (they call it the “Parade of Sheep Breeds”). Find more information and directions, etc. on their site: http://www.sheepandwool.org/
And if you go, bring me back a kebap!
