- Day Two of the Festival -
We finally got to see the sign...
Another perfect weather day!!
Leanne and Robin scoping things out as we walked in Sunday morning.
The Fair Grounds were beautiful.
I liked these outdoor booths, yesterday we spent most of our time inside the barns.
Good Karma Farm
On Sunday, we went to see all of the animals.
Leanne
At 11 a.m. we went to see the "Leaping Llama's"
Which they are now calling the Leaping Animals because so many breeds have joined in on the fun.
In this competition, the animals jump over a stick, clearing it to move on to the next round.
The bar is moved higher each round, if you knock it down, you're out.
The crowd really gets into this and there are a lot of "young" handlers guiding the animals.
There was even a nun - true story.
This little one wanted nothing to do with things...
and when I say nothing I mean...not interested at all!
And the winner is, this big boy!
It was another gorgeous day...
If you ever get the chance,
The New York Sheep & Wool Festival
at the
Duchess County Fairgrounds
What an adventure, unlike any festival I have ever attended.
oooooh and we were hungry as we left, and we headed straight to Buns for another burger.
The burger was better the second time!

Hello, I would love seeing all the animals. They are all so cute! I am not a knitter but the festival looks like a fun time. I assume you bought a lot of yarn. Wonderful images from your trip! Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
don't you hate when you're typing and it all goes away...
I was saying I can tell you hated every minute. The weather was so horrible, too.
So much fun. I'll never forget this trip. One of the best weekends of my life :)
Just an incredible day, of course even if it rained what an amazing gathering, and so much good karma! Great name for that farm, and all the critter's joyful interaction what a pleasure for us to see these adorable critters. This day will long be remembered, especially during the soon arriving season, WINTER!
It really draws a crowd and has something for everyone. Another blog I follow was there too and am not sure but think she had a tent as she is a spinner. She posted about her day on her blog http://cozymadethings.blogspot.com/ if you are interested.
What a fun event . . . beautiful animals and beautiful yarn. It's so much fun to get out and enjoy events like this . . . winter is coming and Autumn is the perfect time to get outside and take in all her beauty:)
Great post!
I'm so glad you guys had such beautiful weather! The photos are awesome, Debbie. This is a memory you'll hold dear for a long time. :)

The weather!!!!!!!!
There must be a number of Witches, who knit! And who made sure, the weather would be sooooo purrrrrrfect! Being sure to "conjure" up a totally lovely Autumn weekend, for all!!!!! ,-))))
Fun! Fun! Fun!
Happy Haunting!

Oh my, WHAT FUN! Thanks for sharing your amazing trip with us, dear Debbie.
Hugs to you!
Debbie, I love these photos of the animals. It looks like great fun and with women friends!
Just about everything wool that you could imagine.It would be a wonderful spot for anyone who knits.
Llamas and alpacas! :-) looove them.
I'm so pleased you had a fantastic time.
So good seeing all of your photographs.
All the best Jan
The goat had me laughing! That's too funny! Beautiful trees!
How wonderful Debbie! I think I would love to go to something like that too. Thanks for sharing.
I love all those cute animals and looks like you had beautiful weather judging by those blue skies. Thanks for sharing your trip Debbie.
How wonderful for all of you gals!
I thought that cute little stubborn black goat was just gorgeous - didn't want to do a n y t h i n g ! lol, so funny - your commentary is wonderful Debbie. Great photos too :D) xx
It looks like a well done festival. We have a day called Lamb Down here, but it's not up to this festival's standard.
That's too funny! Beautiful trees!

I think I would love all of those sweet creatures, as much as all of the gorgeous yarn (almost!) :-)
xo.
This does look like such a fun event. It looks like it is very well attended. I know that you had fun looking at all the different things and you captured so much of it on your magical camera. I loved the photo of Leanne; she looks like such a fun person and very beautiful.
I must say that I do love the animals. The fur is just so petable. The fur is just beautiful and I know it evenutally becomes beautiful yarn.
The stubborn goat is adorable. I am amazed that they can teach them to jump. My brother owned a place in Utah called Big Rock Candy Mountain. He had a few animals on it. He had a buffalo and a Llama. The Llama wasn't friendly at all. Infact, it would try and kick you if you got close and it would blow stuff out of it's nostrils. My Dad really didn't like to care for the Llamas very much.
Then when we lived in Spokane, Wa. There was a Liama farm just a few block from us. I used to love to stop and watch them. They are beautiful creatures.
Sending loving thoughts your way! Hugs~
It did look like a wonderful day, and I know how much you love those animals so this was probably so fun, I didn't know they jumped that high. So glad you were able to go, you will have to share some of the pretty yarns you found, I know you brought some home with you ;) Have a great remainder of your weekend!
