With the 2026 fair season coming to an end, its only proper to share a few final pics that recognize the Mass Sheep and Woolcraft Fair's 50th and final moments. There were special ribbons and banners, photos and trophies of years past to citations from Governor Healy and the Mass. Senate and House, presented by State Senator Paul Mark and State Representative Lindsay Sabadosa.

Shawn Thayer and Lisa Dachinger have been instrumental along with many other dedicated volunteers over recent years in making the MSWCF a highly anticipated and successful event over Memorial Day weekend. While we'll miss it, we leave the 50th year with perhaps a sign of hope for a new beginning...the new lamb born at this year's fair. Thank you everyone, exhibitors, vendors, visitors and volunteers!

The second group of leadline contest photos from a chilly day where wearing wool was appreciated! It was great to see participants of all ages joining in this event one last time! And especially moving to see the tribute from 3 generations of the Thayer family in memory of their Mom, Lorie.

Luckily the rain held off until Sunday so we could feature the talents of both the sheepdog herding and the sheep shearing demonstrations. Both were much appreciated by the fair-goers.
