Shear fun at 79th Lamb & Wool Show
STATESMAN JOURNAL
Turner celebrated wool and feathers
this year during the 79th Annual Mar-
ion County Lamb & Wool Show Sat-
urday, June 4.
Duck herding was among the nov-
elties of the 2016 version of this event,
which celebrates not only the local
lamb and wool industry but also dou-
bles as the “Turner Celebration.”
Among the mix was the requisite
variety necessary to cater to all ages: a
big breakfast, dogs herding sheep (and
ducks), a highlight parade, 4H and FFA
displays, along with craft vendors, food
vendors, wool/fiber classes, a local
spinning club and a quilters group.
Riana Martin and Moose place first in their
class during the Lamb & Wool Show.
