[Ponte Alto] Maryland Sheep and Wool festival.

[jselmer at vt.edu]

I had no luck finding mutton for lunch last year, but the lamb sausage was good.
 It was a fun event, though.  I spent some time looking at various rare/ancient
breeds.  The yard we ended up buying turned out to be too small for pet
lawnmowers.  There's lots to see and learn if you have the time to go.
