Video of Activities

On Sunday, May 2nd from Noon to 4:00 pm more than 1300 people were treated to a wonderful, warm sunny day with Llamas, Angora goats, Sheep shearing and the usual array of craft demonstrations.  The Festival was held in the yard of the Dr. Daniel W Kissam house.  Every one who attended had a great time.

Demonstrators in colonial costume shared their knowledge and assisted visitors in carding, spinning, knitting and weaving, all the processes from "sheep to shawl".
