Monroe County Sheep Producers

❤️Thank you to ALL of the volunteers, vendors, 4-H Federation Members, Monroe County Hoofbeats 4-H Club, Robin & Mary with the working sheep dogs, livestock Judging coordinators, MoCo Spring Showcase team, Karen with the lunch service, our lunch cooking team, Monroe County Farm Bureau Young Leaders and of course all of the patrons! It take a village to put the festival together! The 40th Annual Southern Illinois Sheep & Craft Festival had a beautiful day Saturday and a wonderful crowd! We hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did!

UPDATE!! I almost forgot to thank our instructors for a great set of classes! This newly created feature at the event was a great success for its 2nd year! Thank you Tina for Coordinating & Melanie, Annette & Jeannie for leading the classes!

An opportunity for someone with some ingenuity!
