Another Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival behind us…

Carolina Fiber Fest 2012

Carolina Fiber Fest will also hold a special place in my heart since it’s the first festival I ever had a real vending booth. It’s held during the Got to be NC AG Fest, so to say the Fairgrounds are hopping is an understatement!
