Irish Woolfest
The Running of the Sheep at the Irish Woolfest is the WOW factor.
Imagine an Australian woolly version of the Running of the Bulls with sheepdogs bouncing on and off the backs of full wool merino sheep and onto the four-wheel motorbike. The Running of the Sheep at Boorowa's Irish Woolfest on Sunday 5th October 2008 is an Australian country event where full wool merino sheep rampage down the main street of Boorowa in New South Wales leading the colourful street parade. What a spectacular sight as the sheep are shepherded by our resident farmer who prevents them from tossing people on their horns and goring unsuspecting visitors.
A spiritual thanksgiving for the fine wool of the district follows an old style ritual shearing of a beautiful merino sheep with fleece thrown on the stage for the annual Blessing of the Fleece, an ecumenical prayerful event.
An energised performance by the Jitterbugs with a colourful, non-stop musical extravaganza will appeal to the child in us all. Spirited Irish dancers, singers and bands bring the Celtic flavour to the day and provide non-stop entertainment. A Grower's Market showcases the wonderful array of regional products.
A great day of free entertainment for all the family immersed in a true country flavour not to mention "The Running of the Sheep"
