Welcome to the Annual Massachusetts Sheep and Woolcraft Fair! Chosen by Yankee Magazine as one of the top twenty things to do in Massachusetts.The Massachusetts Sheep and Woolcraft Fair began in 1974 with an idea presented at a potluck dinner at the home of Henry and Virginia Easterbrooks.
The fair began as a spin off of a youth sheep judging contest. The main purpose was to have a statewide sheep show.
The fair has been held at the Cummington Fairgrounds every year except one. As the fair grew areas associated with sheep were added; dog trials, vendors, sheep and fleece auctions, leadline and other fiber animals.
As time has gone by, the lamb bits have become a signature food item, parking lots are full on both days, the fiber workshops are full of variety and people and the fair is still run largely on a volunteer basis.
