Flag Wool and Fiber Festival

Arizona sheep history 1 Minute

Just a reminder that this year’s Flag Wool and Fiber Festival will be Saturday and Sunday June 1st and 2nd at the Arizona Historical Society Pioneer Museum 2340 N. Fort Valley Rd., Flagstaff.

Hours for Saturday – 9 am to 5 pm and Sunday – 9 am to 3 pm.

If you have never been to the Festival, there is something for everyone. Check out their website: flagwool.com for information on vendors, demonstrations and lectures, livestock exhibits, workshops, shearing and food.

Hope to see you there. It is always a great time. I volunteer one of the two days, usually Sunday so I can shop on Saturday. So come by the information booth and say “hi” to the Arizona Sheep Historian.

It came to my attention a few years ago that the sheep industry in Arizona was disappearing. I love history, traveling to new places and research. These have been combined in researching this history. I am an independent researcher and speaker and also part of AZ Speaks with the Arizona Humanities. I hold a BA in Anthropology, a MA and Ph.D. in geography. My masters was in land use geography and the Ph.D. was more in historical geography. I love to travel and have visited all seven continents and more than 50 countries. I am a member of the Women Writing the West.
