Calendar Highlight
It's finally here! The Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival is this weekend at the Howard County Fairgrounds in West Friendship, Maryland. I'm traveling down from Maine and will give you a full report next week.

If you're attending, please join us either Saturday or Sunday (weather permitting) for an informal lunchtime gathering on the grass immediately outside the front entrance to the fairgrounds. Bring a blanket, pack a picnic, and meet your virtual friends in person any time between 11am and 1pm!
