July/August 2013

Thanks to everyone for making our first annual Rocky Mountain Rendezvous such a success.
Special thanks to our talented teachers,
Cheryl Gehly, Margaret & Angus McColl & Sara Jane Maclennan

A very special appreciation to my husband, Dale, who transformed our new house
construction site into the perfect setting for our Saturday dinner.

Angus McColl generously shared his 40+ years of practical experience about fleece and fiber testing.

Everyone got a chance to dig our hands into the fleece as we learned and asked questions with fleece judge, Cheryl Gehly. Participants brought their own fleece for evaluation and breeding suggestions.

Breakfast on the porch with Cheryl, Sara Jane and Angus and Margaret McColl talking about fleece and our fiber industry.
