A few years ago Flagstaff honored the sheep industry in the area by putting murals on the underpass used by the sheepmen trailing their sheep from the south to the north each year. The Manterola’s were probably the last sheep outfit to use the underpass. This past June I finally got the time to walk this trail (now an urban bike/walking trail).
My pictures don’t do it justice. It is a great walk in the cooler air of Flagstaff.
Just a few more pictures from this year’s festival.
That’s all for today! More tomorrow!
Just a few sites of this year’s festival.
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.
The festival is in full swing as I write this. Here are just a few pictures for you. If you live in Arizona, the festival continues tomorrow from 9 AM to 4 PM. Tomorrow the animals and more vendors and their colorful products.
