Goat Obstacle Course – Saturday at 4pm

2019 is the year of the 5th annual goat obstacle course at OFFF. 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! The course includes obstacles that you may find in anyone’s backyard and more! Come Join the fun on Saturday at 4pm! Goats must be secure in a halter or sturdy collar.

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.
