Watch your shorts and camera straps. Goats will nibble on anything. Loved for their curiosity and mischievous playfulness, goats are also responsible for some delicious dairy products... from milk to cheeses and more. Fun fact: The etymology of the phrase "to get someone's goat" is purportedly derived from the practice of putting goats in the stalls of thoroughbreds to calm their nerves before a race. A sneaky rival would "get the goat" (i.e. remove it from the stall), agitating the horse, and hurting his odds of winning.
Feeling sheepish? Well, you'll be in good company, but bear in mind, if you wear a wool sweater, you may be judged. While their fleece may not be "white as snow," watching these ornery little lambs is shear fun. Just don't ask what they think of Christmas.
The fair doesn't descriminate. We appreciate all creatures great and small. So come check out the Small Animal Evaluations to see all the rabbits, cavies and other diminuative, yet adorable critters.
From shearing to weaving, the Sheep to Shawl demonstration will show you all the work involved in making your favorite sweater.
