OH MY GOODNESS!
Please, forgive me but I've given an incorrect date for Sheep Shearing Day @ Thistle Cove Farm.
The correct day is *always* a Saturday and is 4 April 2009. All other information is good.

LOST ARTS GUILD Mission Statement ~ “To provide a nurturing atmosphere in which crafts-people and artists, using natural and/or organic materials may expand their areas of expertise and have a market-place to sell their wares. Further, to educate others by teaching our arts and crafts.”
15th Annual Sheep Shearing Day
Lost Arts Guild members will demonstrate and sell their traditional Appalachian crafts on 10 April 2010 at the 15th Annual Sheep Shearing Day at Thistle Cove Farm.
The event begins around 9 a.m. when the shearer arrives to shear the rare and primitive Shetland sheep and Romney, Merino and crossbred sheep. He finishes around noon or 1:00 p.m. but LAG members continue to demonstrate until around 5:00 p.m.
Wear comfortable shoes, layered clothing and bring a camera,; admission is free and parking alongside the road. Hot food and beverages to be sold by folks in the community. Service dogs only please, this is a working farm.
Photo opportunities abound and it's a great day on the farm!
