Goats and Tilt-A-Whirls

Dateline;

Ulster County Fair

Alive, Alive, Alive! Kept alive on Argentinian Eucalyptus leaves, it's the girls with the wool comb hands! See them for yourselves! Step right up folks! They're pulling them out of the fleece bag now! Step back son, that cotton candy looks loaded, it could go off at any moment!

They're fearless! See The Virgin Woolies! Watch them spin! Look at how these ladies ply!

They can Not Be Stopped! Look at 'em go! I don't know folks, I wouldn't get between that weaver and her loom. See the look in her eye! A person could loose a finger in those flying heddles!

Will … They … Make … It? Time IS Running Short Ladies and Gents. Tell me Ma'am, you look like a local expert. What do you think?

"I think they're doin' real well for the first time out of the gate. And I know that Sheba who's fleece they're workin'. This is her first shearing, that is some fine virgin wool if I do say so.  If they keep at it at this rate and don't falter I bet these gals'll surprise us all."

Thank you for that well considered opinion Ma'am. Folks, the tension is building! Have they got the length? Will they finish? Are the Virgin Woolies to be covered in glory, or slink home soiled in humiliation and SHAME? The Judge is circling, Ladies and Gents, her clip board is confidential. And TIME is called! TIME HAS BEEN CALLED folks!! Now hush, hush folks, please be silent. Get away from me boy, ya bother me. Let's hear what the judge has to say,

Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages, The Virgin Woolies have emerged triumphant! Second place and see how they smile! Folks, that is one nice piece of work they've brought out today.

Thank you for your support folks! Thanks for comin' out! We'll see y'all next time. Don't forget the Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck. 

Step right this way to see the Egress!
