The Homeplace 1850s Farm has a lot of fun planned for the week of April 8-15.  Sheep Shearing & Wool Week is always a popular time at the Homeplace, and  one of my own personal Land Between the Lakes events each year.

From The Homeplace:

Watch and visit with sheep shearer Gary Lawson as he demonstrates the historic skill of hand shearing sheep. Seeing them before and after is pretty amazing.

Meet and Greet The Border Leicester Sheep (Saturday, April 8 12-1pm) On shearing day, sheep are the stars. Learn about the Homeplace’s rare heritage breed sheep, and in between their haircuts, meet them up-close and personal.
