Sheepvention.......what's all the fuss!!

We wanted to know what all this fuss was about "Sheepvention" The kids got the day off school. Now what can be so interesting about sheep? Sheepvention is the equivalent to a regional show, it is a really big event in Hamilton and the region. We spent 4.5hrs walking around there yesterday afternoon and we didn't end up seeing it all. The kids loved looking at all the animals. We didn't realise how many different types of sheep there are.


Huge pavilions filled with all types of sheep

Yes, I was the only crazy person walking around the show with a camera taking photo's. It was lots of fun. The kids loved watching the sheep dog trials, that's about the only thing I didn't take any pictures of. It was very interesting and the kids learnt a lot about "Sheep"
