Mark your calendar.  The Chancellor's Sheep and Wool Showcase will be held this year on April 26th, 2008 from 11:00-5:00 PM at the Clermont State Park.

This will be a day of fun, music, food, sheep shearing, knitting demonstrations, spinning, dyeing, exhibition of different breeds and much, much more

Most of all you will find yourself in one of the most picturesque settings in the Hudson Valley.  Clermont State Park is on the banks of the Hudson River with a magnificent view of the Catskill Mountains.

Jennifer I guess it is that time of the year for the sheep to get a hair cut.  Poor little guys it is still kind of cold at the end of April :)

OK I need to take a day off and have some fun.. I have been working like a crazy fool .. to bad this is to far for fun.. someone find me some fun near buy... does anyone know of a real estate  cruise.

Jennifer, I remember a sheep showcase of some kind last year.  I guess this must be a yearly or maybe semi-yearly event.  Sounds like fun!  I think I told you this before but I use to show sheep in 4-H.  I'm not telling when (lol).

Hi Jennife,

That's sounds like an interesting event, I've never seen anything like that myself.

George - That might be true ,but it will be a fun day for all in attendance.

Eric - Sounds like you need a vacation.  But why would you want to go on a real estate cruise?

Marchel - I most certainly won't ask how long ago you participated in 4H.  I think you mentioned the 4H when I wrote about the fair.

Lynda you would love it and the scenery is breathe-taking.

Jennifer - Great local post!  I like the way you incorporated the map.  I tried that once and could not get it to show up properly.  I'll need to try again.

Sounds like fun. I'm sure my 5 year would love to see and possibly feed the sheep.

Spring is in the air. And this is one of the many interesting events to be held in the beautiful Hudson Valley and Catskills areas.

Thanx for this post.  I have always wanted to attend this, I will mark my calendar and hope to attend!!

 I greatly enjoy these events. They combine my love of rural life and my love of knitting. It's a win-win.

LOL...I've never been to that type of show before. Be sure to post pictures if you attend.

Hi Jennifer,
Now that is different and I would think entertaining and educational.  Great job on including the map.

Jennifer: You always find the most interesting local event!  and I love the map!  Clermont is a really great place for events or just to have a great picnic.

Jennifer, I shave my hair when it get's that white also, lol.  Sounds like a lot of fun and I like the google map!

Jennifer, I have never seen a sheep shearing but it would be fun to watch. I love you Google Map, that is very cool, I'll have to try it sometime. 

Need some buds on those trees!
