It's Almost Time To Hug (Some More) Sheeps!

Once again, let's all get together to celebrate (Inter) National Hug a Sheep Day!  

October 26th, 2013

Spread the word to all the sheep farms, ranches, fiber festivals, yarn shops, craft guilds, school groups...  If you are hosting an "event" (big or small!), leave a comment with a link on this post and I'll keep updating the list.  

Any questions, email thecrazysheeplady AT gmail DOT com

More Hugs

 
"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."  David W., New Mexico.

And Hug A Sheep :-)

Hug a Sheep Day is October 27th this year.

As always, HASD is for everyone to enjoy. You do not have to have your own sheep, even know anyone who has sheep. If you'd like to be listed as a participant (individual or group), leave your name (and a link if you'd like) in the comments and I'll start a running list on the next post. If you (farm, LYS, guild group...) are planning something special and open to the public, drop me an email and we'll try to feature you somehow.
