In sync with this year’s fair theme, ‘Harvesting Tradition, Cultivating Innovation: 170 Years of Agricultural Excellence,’ the Sheep to Shawl demonstration will once again bring history to life. As the rhythmic hum of spinning wheels blends with the earthy scent of wool, local artisans will transform raw fleece into a beautifully woven shawl, showcasing skills that have been passed down through generations. This time-honoured tradition not only pays homage to the fair’s rich agricultural roots but also highlights the innovative spirit that keeps these crafts alive in modern times.
