In conjunction with the Montana Ram & Ewe Sale Sept. 11-12 in Miles City, Montana, Montana State University will offer a program titled “Opportunities and Challenges for U.S. Grown and Sewn Wool and Natural Fiber Clothing” on Sept. 11 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Eastern Montana Fairgrounds Event Center.
The program will offer “a relaxed, but technical discussion from people who get their hands dirty on the challenges and opportunities facing the growing U.S. companies trying to compete in a global market to revive the U.S. grown and sewn wool and natural fiber clothing supply chain.”
Scheduled to appear on the program are: Guy Carpenter of Bear Fiber in North Carolina; Wade Kopren of Fishhook Socks in South Dakota; Evan Helle of Duckworth in Montana; and Ben Hostetler of Mountain Meadow Wool in Wyoming.
