Last Words About MDSWF

Well, I was going to post my observations about Maryland Sheep and Wool, but there's so many other blogs out there that have done a better job of describing this show. And besides which, I didn't do a major shopping expedition (well, I did bring home a few items) and was just there to enjoy the day with my husband and our friends and their children, who went to the festival for the first time. I will venture to say, though, that I'm simply astounded at how large this has grown. I started going there about 10 years ago or so and it definitely was more pleasant and comfortable back then, intimate, even.

I think the people running this festival are going to have to do some serious thinking about how this show is run, so that it doesn't get so out of control and drive people away. They really need to start thinking about selling the festival items online. Yes, the catalog mentioned this, but when I went to the website, I was disappointed to find that the online store didn't exist. I think this would have helped, in a small way, to alleviate the sale process where one is faced with long lines and hour-long waits all day long.
