NHSW Sheep and Wool Festival

Thank You To All!

Thank you for making our 2025 Festival a great success!

Despite a rainy Saturday, the weekend was filled with laughter and smiling faces. We are grateful to everyone who visits, vends, educates, and organizes the event. All funds raised at the festival go back to supporting the NH Sheep and Wool Growers’ mission of supporting and educating shepherds and the wool industry not only at the festival but year-round. We do this by providing clinics, speakers, scholarships, and youth sponsorships.

We are already planning 2026 and hope you will join us on May 9th and 10th at the Deerfield Fairgrounds.
