The 25th Annual Lambtown, USA Festival offers fun, entertainment and a learning experience for all members of the family. Admission
is $2 for adults, $1 for youth ages 6 - 13. Your entry ticket will automatically enter you in a raffle for a fabulous prize!
Come and enjoy tasty lamb dishes from our food vendors, and learn to cook lamb at the
Cooking Demonstrations! Watch as sheep shearers remove the entire fleece from lambs in less than a minute
at the shearing demonstration. Browse over 100 craft and fiber booths, fine arts show and sale, and merchants who offer special Lambtown
products. Visit the wool, mohair and alpaca fleece show and sale, skeins and garments competition and 20 different classes and watch the
spinning competitions. See how fleeces are judged for quality, how wool straight from the sheep can be spun and woven into a shawl in
only 4 hours!
Take a class and learn how to spin, dye wool, knit, or how to select a fleece for your next project (a small
materials fee and advanced registration are needed for most classes). Enjoy the live entertainment from our centrally located stage area,
where you can hear music from the many cultures who have contributed to the lamb and wool industries in the region.
