On Thursday evening we decided to attend the Star and Stripes Invitational show at Freedom Fest in New Jersey. Some of us attended the show, while others staffed our booth at the Horse and Hound Bedford Wine Festival in Bedford VA.
Friday was a busy day at the farm, packing for the show, trimming feet for the show, etc. At 8:30 AM Brooklyn was picked up and left for her new home. In total five customers stopped by the farm in 24 hours.
Saturday we sold soap! The new soap display shelves made looked so nice! The event was huge, lots of food, art, and craft vendors, selling items like handmade jewelry and candles, leatherwork, woodwork, original paintings, etc. plus ten different wineries offering tastings, unique food vendors, some corporate booths, live music all day, a Barney impersonator from the Andy Griffith show, horse parade, dog agility contests, and more. It was quite interesting. We sold MANY bars of soap and a few lip balms. We completely sold out of several varieties: Ocean Breeze, Peppermint-Eucalyptus, Lilac, Sandalwood-Patchouli, almost all of Lavender and WakeMeUp too.
In New Jersey Ring one Abbey was RGCH, ring two Priority was RGCH, and Maire was BOB. The Freedom Fest included cow, Boer goat, dairy goat, sheep, hog, rabbit, chicken, and baked good judging going on simultaneously under one huge roof! Fun....
