Debbie Crowder-BaaramuLuke Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Go to MD Sheep and Wool, or the Dualing Shearers Demo? I always end up in the right place for Sheep and Wool, in Howard Co Fairgrounds, MD, but I couldn't tell you how. I mapquest it. They have a website for that one...tell me if you need directions to Scotchtown, that's way easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Howard Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Directions to Scotchtown please! I live in New Kent, Va. very near the Colonial Downs racetrack. I would be coming from 64 West. Thanks! Mona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Crowder-BaaramuLuke Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Okay, 64W to 95N, exit Ashland (54W). Go through town, resist the urge to stop and stay a while, go over the RR tracks, out of town about 8-10 miles to Scotchtown Rd., turn R. Scotchtown is about 1-2 miles up on the L., turn on Chiswell Rd for parking just before you see the house (the oldest frame house in the state of VA). Lovely place. We look forward to seeing you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Crowder-BaaramuLuke Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Oop, you'd be using 64EAST, sorry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Crowder-BaaramuLuke Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Gee whiz, I was right the first time. You are East, you'd be coming West, darn it. I am perpetually stupid, and it isn't getting any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Howard Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thank you Debbie, for directions. I plan on being there. Your directions are great--don't be hard on yourself--I can get lost in my own back yard!! I just follow the border collies to the back door or try to follow the sound of the sheep screaming for more grain. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Crowder-BaaramuLuke Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 You can shear a sheep with an Oster A5 clipper and a 7F blade. It takes a while, but it can be done. I have a sheep with a health dilemma and I wanted to avoid taking him up to the shearing demo for Tom to do, so I took a whack at it. Looks pretty good. The demo is still on for Saturday, pending my getting Tom on the phone tomorrow to confirm. His computer's still broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Debbie, I talked to Tom (had b'fast with him) on Monday and he said then he was going down there on Saturday (I was amazed that it takes him only two hours to get from Strasburg to Hanover). Anyway, in case you were getting nervous, he still was planning to come as of two days ago.... J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Crowder-BaaramuLuke Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hey, don't worry, I'm leaving the live wires for him. My favorite sheep of all time, my dear Mr. Leiscester may have CL, so Miss L. and he are staying home. Are you still coming? I've arranged for period garb for you!!
