The annual Linn County Lamb and Wool Fair in Scio, Oregon will celebrate its 90th anniversary this year with a jam-packed schedule of petting zoos, pie eating contests, quilt shows, car shows, talent shows, tractor shows, flower shows, live music and more.
“The excitement is gaining momentum with the release of our booklet and raffle tickets already available in local businesses,” Karen Borchard Isaac – vendor coordinator and president of the Linn County Lamb and Wool Fair Association – said. “We kick off this year’s event Thursday night [May 15] with the Royal Court Coronation at the ZCBJ Hall.”
Then, on May 16 at noon vendors throughout downtown will open for business and the pie sale, the silent auction and the petting zoo will commence.
“[T]here are a ton of events and each one has something special to offer,” Borchard Isaac said, specifically naming the sheep dog trials at Wolston Farms and the quilt show in the gymnasium of the Scio Middle School as two that should not be missed. “I recommend planning your weekend now by picking up a booklet or checking out the activities on our website www.lambfair.com… There is something for everyone, and there is just so much fun for all ages spread out over the three-day weekend.”
And the fair is admission-free.
“[S]o guests can come and go as they please… and enjoy all that the fair has to offer at a leisurely pace,” Borchard Isaac said. “With so many shopping options and food options in addition to the events, it really does take three days to take it all in.”
