Celebrate all things sheep and wool with a weekend of shear fun!

Watch live demonstrations of sheep shearing and Border Collie herding. Pick up a Sheep & Wool Passport to follow the steps of the wool process all around the farm while collecting stamps at each station. Observe how raw wool is processed, then see the wool take on structure and color through dyeing and spinning.

View the creative possibilities made by weaving, felting, knitting and crocheting. Children will have a chance to spin and take home their very own woolen bracelet. Purchase raffle tickets to win Woolen Treasures made by Billings Staff on display in the Activity Barn.
