Waynesburg Prosperous & Beautiful
Fifth Annual Sheep & Fiber Fest
Third Weekend in May 2008!

Waynesburg Prosperous & Beautiful has hosted the Sheep & Fiber Festival for three years and we’re diligently working on the fifth event that will take place on May 17-18, 2008. To learn more about the 5th Annual Sheep & Fiber Fest go to www.sheepandfiber.com.

• Annual festivities include a FREE documentary that is shown in the historic Waynesburg Theater and Center for the Arts.

• Juried craftsmen line the street offering unique wool related crafts and wares.

• Our Sheep to Shawl Contest begins early on Saturday with sheep sheering and concludes with the auction of shawls that were produced right on the street in about 8 hours. One person cleans and cards the wool, another spins and yet another weaves the fibers into beautiful heirloom quality shawls that are publicly auctioned in the afternoon.

• The Breed Pavilion features shepherding dogs and playful puppies.

• Photography exhibits lined the halls of the Greene County Courthouse, while colorful ribbons dangled from the winning photos.

• Hands on exhibits included sheep, shepherding dogs, and alpaca. Lippencott Alpaca farm proudly announce the birth of Dumbledore the first Greene County born Alpaca. He was born on May 21, 2006 during the festival.

• Greene County Community Church hosts a tent with children’s activities like face painting, friendship bracelets, and felt ball.

• You may taste lamb at our sampling booth, take part in a lamb cook-off, or engage in one of the training options.

Lippencott Alpacas is proud to present Greene County's first baby alpaca (cria) that was born on Fair Acres farm in the village of Lippencott.  Alpaca owners, Lena and Philip Galing, named him Dumbledore after the famous white-haired wizard from the Harry Potter series.  He was born on May 21, 2006 on the second day of Waynesburg's Sheep and Fiber Fest while our two teenage female alpacas were showing off at the event.  People crowded around to ask questions, begged to touch the alpacas and bought some of our alpaca farm store products.  Lippencott Alpacas will grow to 8 alpacas with the addition of another cria in September.  The farm is located 2 miles from the Greene County Country Club and 5 miles from Ruff Creek.  Farm visits are encouraged.  Come see the first alpacas in Greene County and peruse the wide range of alpaca products available for sale.

Whatever your pleasure, we’re looking forward to seeing you at the next Sheep & Fiber festival. Mark your calendars for the third weekend of May in 2008.
See you there!
