Only 450 miles farther than Pennsic! ;>  I'm sure we could find you local

such a focused need!

Here's the website of the sponsoring organization, and the list of last 
year's vendors.

There's not much information there yet about this year's festival, but 
there will be.  This event, although not I think as big as the Maryland 
one, is sort of like Pennsic shopping for the sheepaholic. ;>  Although the 
featured breed for 2003 will be merinos, a number of Icelandic breeders do 
come to this every year, toting lovely fleeces that you can buy entire, or 
in increments as small as an ounce or two.
