Thermopolis to host Wyoming wool festival
The Wyoming Wool Growers Association has released the schedule for the July 12 to 14 Wyoming Sheep & Wool Festival at the Hot Springs County Fairgrounds in Thermopolis, Wyoming.
Arts, educational and cultural events are planned with vendor and educational booths. Attendees can watch the stock dog trials, go on a tour and then dance to live music at an after-dinner party on Saturday night.
Educational sessions, farm tours and the art show reception will be July 12. Events on July 13 include an all-day vendor fair and programming for all ages, followed by the Sheepherders Come Bye lamb feast.
During dinner, awards will be announced followed by a free dance and concert presented by Kellen Smith and the Nate Champion Band. The festival is a project of the WWGA and Wyoming SHEEP Foundation and is supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund—a program of the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources.
