The 19th annual Estes Park Wool Market will be held June 11th
through June 14th, 2008. This fiber festival in the Rockies
begins with two days of workshops and seminars on Thursday the 11th and Friday the12th. You must pre-register for
these workshops. Wool Market booklets will be available in
mid-February. If you would like to be added to the mailing list,
please call the Events Department at 970-586-6104 or e-mail
events@estes.org.
The Wool Market continues with two exciting days of exhibits, demonstrations,
competitions and vendor booths. The event is free and open to the public on Saturday, June 13th
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, June 14th from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m.
Sheep dog herding demonstrations and sheep-shearing demonstrations are held
four times a day throughout the weekend. An
announcer will provide play-by-play explanations of the many herding and sheep-shearing techniques used by these animals and their handlers.
One of the most popular attractions is the Children's Tent, where visitors,
young and old, are invited to try their hands at rope weaving, spinning and
loom weaving. Weavers and spinners will be on hand to teach basics and give
visitors a chance to try the techniques for themselves.
Sheep, llama, alpaca, cashmere & angora goat competitions, as well as fleece
contests are held throughout the weekend.
For the shoppers, more than 50 vendor booths will be filled with fleeces,
raw fibers, novelty knitting and crocheting yarns, as well as finished coats,
scarves, hats, shawls, and fiber-processing equipment.
The weekend's activities are held at the
Fairground at Stanley Park located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 36 and
Community
Drive. Although admission is free, there is
a $4 parking fee.
