The gathering, in its 42nd incarnation, will feature 600 sheep, more than 120 vendors and hundreds of fleeces, according to Wayne Thompson a local sheep grower and BSG organizer. It’s a “sheep-to- shawl” show, Thompson says, with hundreds of sheep, goats and alpacas and a huge marketplace. The BSG will also host workshops on sheep-friendly topics such as wool-dyeing, spinning and felting. The BSG is an homage to those sheep whose fleeces are known as “natural colored,” as their fleeces can range from chocolaty-brown to grey to black. Thompson says after fleeces have been judged they are up for sale so the BSG provides a venue for those with specialty sheep to sell their fleeces. Raising these animals and their wool is an “avocation,” he tells EW. Black Sheep Gathering 9am–6pm, 5pm and 4pm respectively Friday June 24 - Sunday June 26 at the Lane Events Center, 796 W. 13th Ave.; FREE, more info at blacksheepgathering.org. 12 June 23, 2016 • eugeneweekly.com
