Wagon rides added to the Folklife Fair next Saturday

Laura Sluder of Blue Sage Farm has offered to provide wagon rides at the Folklife Fair next Saturday as a part of the 14th annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival.  The rides will cost $5.00 and will start at Roberta McKercher Park and travel to the Championship Sheepdog Trials at Quigley Canyon Ranch and back.  To stay and enjoy the Trials, there is a $2.00 admission charge.

There are also 10 new children's fiber classes during the Fiberfest at the Folklife Fair this year.  They include storytelling, drop spindle, cordage making, felted snakes and worms, Kool-aid dyeing, finger knitted jewelry, weaving and other arts & crafts.  Some of the classes have a small fee to cover materials and instructors.  Most classes last about 30 minutes.

The Fiber Fest also includes demonstrations with wool - the entire arduous process will be demonstrated during the Folklife Fair between 10 am - 11:00 am.  Each step including shearing, skirting, washing, carding dyeing and spinning will be shared by expert fiber professionals and ladies from the Magic Valley Fiber Guild.

A spinning competition (like a spinning be) is schedule for 1:00 - 1:30 pm

Stage events include the Oinkari Basque dacers, Latino X peruvian musicians and dancers, the Polish Highlands and the Boise Highlanders, pipers and drummers.

The weekend is filled with great food, fun activities and events for the entire family!
