Every year the Trailing of the Sheep Festival celebrates the century and a half long traditions of moving sheep from mountain summer pastures south through the Wood River Valley to traditional winter desert areas. This annual migration is not a reenactment, but rather living history. The weekend Festival highlights the people, cultures, and traditions of sheep ranching in Idaho and the west.

2010 marks the 14th year of the annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival.  It has grown into a 3-day event including sheep poetry readings and music, a full day Folklife Fair with sheep shearing, wool spinning and sheep arts and crats, and Championship Sheepdog Trials.  This year the Festival celebrates sheep ranching and its history of sustainability and the delicious, healthy food, clothing, woolen creations and other important products that sheep provide.  The event will feature speakers on sustainability and the importance of local, organic, free range, grass fed lamb as well as expert spinners, weavers and knitters.  There will be sheep ranchers and others involved withusing wood as insulations--the latest in green building.

Contact Mary Austin Crofts, Director, at 208-721-2827 or www.trailingofthesheep.org
