The event began with the winner of the sheep decorating contest. But first all the sheep:

After much discussion by the judges we choose: sheep #2 above. The theme was Arizona and while everyone’s sheep looked great we felt that fit the overall theme. Congratulations Nancy.

Thank you to everyone who came out for the event. You didn’t have far to go with it in your community!

I’ll post in the next couple of days more pictures from this event.

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.
