NEW THIS YEAR - MUSIC!

Bill Johnston and Mary Knupp are musicians from the local area who have played with various local groups and enjoy traditional folk music, slave and civil rights songs, 1950s country (Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, etc.), as well as gospel and blues.  "William and Mary" recently teamed up to showcase their talents and we are pleased to have them perform during the festival.

The talented young lady chosen was Lindsey Perrault from Winchester, Va.   Ms. Perrault is a 20 year old junior at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA and she is an Art Major. 

The entry was a creative 'book' Lindsey made for a weaving and fiber art class titled "Fashion & Fiber".   This fun creation turned out to be a unique and cleverly constructed recycle project using an old publication she found at a second hand store.  By super-imposing an assortment of things such as buttons, beads, lace, and doll clothes;  the finished project was a delightfully eye-appealing feast of fibers and textures.

Lindsey plans on attending the festival in Oct. and may even have a few things to sell at the Peddler's Corner so if you see her be sure and congratulate her and check out her goodies!

NIFTY STORY ABOUT A NIFTY EVENT

City Girls go Country!

 

Check out the delightful photos of a pair of recent Baby Lamb arrivals from ‘Freedom Farm’ In Virginia.  Owners, Tammy & Quentin Phillips, had graciously invited their new neighbors to see the birthing first hand.  Laurel Ziviello and her daughters Kaitlynn (age 5) and Morgan (age 6) had recently relocated to Frederick Co. Virginia from Long Island N.Y. and had never experienced the wonders of birthing.  By the time the girls arrived, Lambchop had already greeted the world but 10 minutes later, they watched in awe as his twin sister Oreo arrived!   Both are adorable and all, including mom ‘Corella’ are doing well. 

 

Laurel noted, “Morgan and Kaitlynn were a bit perplexed about the birth and why the babies are all wet and look like poop when they arrive – however, after some really basic explaining the girls started to get it.   Needless to say this has opened up many doors of conversation of how babies are made, how they live in their mommies; questions about birth and does it hurt? AND finally, when am I going to have another baby!”    Wow, that must have been some conversation!  

 

We at the SVFF appreciate Tammy for sending along pictures of the event and making the day so very special for two little girls who will be chattering about it for months (perhaps years) to come.  

 

‘Freedom Farm’ had a very successful February lambing season with a total of six new-born Romney Lambs; which will certainly keep the Phillips busy - not to mention more opportunities for the Ziviello girls to learn about country life first hand.  

Photos of the other Lambs are included so be sure to check out the babies!!
