SHEEP CAMP WRAP-UP

Posted by Pam Smith on June 30, 2009

Wow, what a whirlwind of a weekend!  With over 75 participants and presentations ranging from Julie’s Frisbee catching Australian Shepard to hoof trimming and cheese making, we certainly had plenty of fun and learning opportunities.

The success of Sheep Camp depends on the effort and commitment of many volunteers.  As I think back on my first year of attendance there was Leslie Goodrich and Cindy Watrous, flanked by their children.  Seven years later Leslie and Cindy still offer their assistance and their girls are at camp, not as 4-H’ers, but as organizers, mentors and leaders.

These Sheep Camp graduates offer so much to the next generation of shepherds.  Their enthusiasm, organizational skills, and smiling faces make returning a pleasure for us older folks.

Special thanks to all those, too numerous to mention, who gave tirelessly of their time this past year.   And to those who stepped up at the last minute to help make this past weekend a success.

Farewell to our good friend Mary Benoit, a tireless contributor for many years, as she heads for greener pastures.

Now lets all catch up on some laundry and sleep!
