Yesterday, I talked with Libby Beiler of the Time Warp team from Montour County, which won their second consecutive Sheep to Shawl competition.
The team works pretty much year-round to design and perfect their technique for the Farm Show, she said.
There’s selecting the sheep, selecting the theme, practicing new techniques, making sure everything’s lined up and sketched out.
Apparently, the Valley rocks at this competition, taking home 4 of the top 6 places.

RT @pcntv: This lamb got sheared for sheep to shawl contest today. Then she got chilly, so someone gave her a jacket. twitter.com/pcntv/status/2…
