Hosted By: The Northwest Pygora Goat Club

A potluck style taco dinner

​

Goat Obstacle Course

This is a challenging course for handler and goat alike, but with a great sense of humor. Entries are judged on the partnership between goat and handler, showmanship and the flexibility of the handler as we know goats have a mind of their own! Goats must be secure in a halter or sturdy collar.

​

Hands-On Activities

’Make and Take’ activities take place in the Activities tent on the central lawn. Some activities may have a small fee to cover cost of materials.

These activities hosted by Aurora Colony Handspinners Guild

​

Fiber Craft Demonstrations

Watch for crafters and artisans sharing their specialties each day during the festival.

You can pick up a daily Schedule of Events at the main gate information booth.

​

Guilds

Knitting, spinning, weaving and lace – guilds of all kinds participate and contribute to the Festival each year. Demonstrating, sharing and teaching are only a few ways guild members contribute. The Festival thanks them for all they do at the Festival and in their communities. Look for some of these guilds on the central lawn and upstairs in the main pavilion. If your Guild would like to be present at the Festival, please contact Kristy Bellavita.

​

Spinning/Fiber Crafter’s Circle

Sit under the maple tree on the central lawn of the festival, and share the enjoyment of your craft with others. All handcrafters are welcome.
