I love the ice cream cone on top of one of the vendor stands in the midway. What could be better than a giant fake cone beckoning you to eat ice cream?
Mid-chew

Jersey Wooly bunneh babies -- so cute you could die
Spinning demonstration
Several vendors had wonderful baskets like these
Wool for applique
Antique wheels & other spinning equipment at this booth
Love the "Hooked on Ewe" rugs
From the winner's tent, this was a life-sized sheep 
Tiny sweater from the winner's tent
Lots of cool weaving projects were on display
Some gorgeous examples of stranded knitting

It's been years since I've been to a woolly festival. The last time I went, I bought 2000 (yep, you read that right) yards of mohair boucle. Three years later, and it's still in my stash, waiting to become something. Those damned farmers see me coming.
Glad you had a good time.
OMG, that stranded vest is to DIE for!
