Holly, I think this is a great idea and would also be a nice place for spinning groups to post their normal meeting times/places. I often find people who come to look at my fleeces ask about spinners/groups in their area (which sometimes I know and sometimes I don't). I will absolutely suggest something like this for next year. If nothing else, at least the bulletin board and some space even if it isn't 'reserved'. We do provide lots of picnic tables in niches and places, some covered, some open, that people are free to sit and chat for however long they desire. Also have a lot of grassy open space for kids to run off energy in between serious shopping or eating bouts. Thanks for a great idea. To all of you who have requested a booklet from NH Sheep and Wool Festival I have forwarded on your addresses to the mailing committee. Also the entire booklet is going to be put onto the web site (they are hoping no later than beginning April) which is www.yankeeshepherd.com.
