The Art Show will be held 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14, in Town Square in Ketchum. This is one of the 30 events planned for the festival this year.<\/p>\n<p>The festival will host about 11 local vendors, including Blue Savannah, Dancing Goddess, Desert Garden Farms, Feathergrass Fiber, Lark\u2019s Meadow Farm, Magic of the Zapotec Hand, Nat and Yarn, Sheepish Designs, SpringSong Farm and Wandering Pines Alpacas. Each will showcase their unique products and designs.<\/p>\n<p>Dianne Wright, of Wandering Pines Ranch, in Weiser, will join the sheep festival for her fifth time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fell in love with the wonderful festival,\u201d Wright said. \u201cIt got me interested in different types of sheep and wool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wright raises alpacas and harvests the fleece. Ninety-five percent of the work is done by hand, including cleaning and dyeing. She sells the yarn and fiber and makes items like fingerless gloves, hats and scarves.<\/p>\n<p>Included in this last day of the celebration are food and music leading up the sheep parade down Main Street. In the past, this event was held on Irving\u2019s Hill in Ketchum. The relocation to Town Square means there is more room for food trucks and entertainment, including catering by the Wood River Sustainability Center food truck, specialty cocktails, and music provided by Cindy and Gary Braun and Gator Nation in partnership with Sun Valley Jazz and Music Festival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe took a festival we had and spiced it up a bit,\u201d said Laura Musbach Drake, Trailing of the Sheep Festival executive director.<\/p>\n<p>Drake hopes the addition of sheep art and the relocation entices more people to join the end of this wonderful celebration before and after the big woolly parade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sheep parade is an authentic band of sheep making their way south down Main Street, so everyone can celebrate,\u201d Drake said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY AIMEE DURAND &nbsp; A new event has been added to the 22nd Annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival this weekend.
