Catch up post.The second annual Iron Range Earthfest was held on Saturday, April 17th, in Mt. Iron. It was the debut of the Rice River Lamb Company. I had a fun day visiting, informing, selling, and managed to card some wool on down times. I had brought along raw fleece and some tanned sheep hides to sell, to no avail. However there was a lot of interest in lamb meat. I ended up taking deposits for some fall orders. I didn't get as much time as I would have liked to visit the other exhibits and vendors, or attend any speakers, but I did have a fun, worthwhile day. My mom and Nate assisted for shifts of the day, along with Kohen who critiqued my display and said that if I really wanted to make sales I should hold up a photo book that contains pictures of the sheep. Maybe that was my problem.
