Fleece Sale and Judging

FLEECE SALE AND JUDGING INSTRUCTIONS

SALE FLEECES

A producer may bring up to ten fleeces total for sale, including judged fleeces. If bringing Sale Only fleeces, you may bring 7.
All fleeces should be as clean and free of debris as possible for a good opportunity for sale. Remember, our customers are knowledgeable buyers.
Fleeces must be displayed in clear plastic bags. Hannaford usually carries clear garbage bags.
You may put paperwork/photos/business cards into the bag with your fleece.
Pre-registration is strongly recommended.

JUDGED FLEECES

A producer may bring up to 3 fleeces to be judged, and 7 additional fleeces for Sale Only.
Judged fleeces may be marked Not For Sale (NFS) if the producer wants to keep them.
All judged fleeces must be displayed in a clear plastic bag with no personal identifying information displayed. Information/business cards, etc. may be stapled to the bag in an unmarked envelope that will be opened and displayed after the judging is completed.
Fleeces judge much better if they are free of debris and skirted well.
Pre-registration is strongly recommended.
