It conveniently fell on a Saturday that year, so we now float the holiday to always match the last Saturday in October.

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll run a updated list here in this post and <strike>probably</strike> maybe one on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/National-Hug-A-Sheep-Day/371004446357846">new Facebook page</a> as well...if I can figure that out :-o. In the meantime, leave a comment on this post and I'll add your name to the list. Include a link if you'd like, especially if it's open to the public.

The logo sheep is Ewen McTeagle, one of the most huggable sheeps ever :-).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hug a Sheep Day was created to celebrate wonderful sheep from all over. I picked the original date, October 30th, because that was Punkin's birthday. It conveniently fell on a Saturday that year, so we now float the holiday to always match the last Saturday in October. This seems best so as to accommodate special plans to celebrate including open farm days, events at local yarn shops, festivals... But really, EVERY DAY is a great day to Hug a Sheep :-). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a dedicated website for <a href="http://nationalhugasheepday.com/">Hug a Sheep Day</a>. And now <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/National-Hug-A-Sheep-Day/371004446357846">a Facebook page</a> as well. There everyone can feel free to list their own special events, large ("We are having a farm party! Everyone's invited!") or small ("I don't have a sheep, but I'm going to dig into my stash and hug some yummy wool yarn!") Check the list. There may be a fun event close by!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This year Hug a Sheep Day is October 25th.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Greetings ! As ewe can see... we're gearing up for
Halloween here on Vancouver Island. I told The Girls, "A hug a day,
keeps the doctor away", but they are more traditionalists and prefer an
apple a day ~ ha ! Hugs ( and kisses ) to all of ewe sheep lovers out
there ! April xo </span></div>

"I had the honour and privilege of volunteering as an apprentice shepherd's assistant to Navajo shepherds at CAC Red Mesa Sheep Ranch (now closed) in New Mexico. Worked with Navajo Churro Sheep.
Have a photo of me holding a one day old baby ram. None of the ewes would claim him so we had to bottlefeed the little guy."
