CooEee and click go the shears!

Well you don't have to be a bloke or a sheila to go outback ... on Victoria Day long weekend in Ottawa, May 19-21, at the Museum of Agriculture on Prince of Wales Drive there is a sheep shearing festival. Sheep shearing, sheepdog agility, sheep herding with sheepdogs, wool carding, felt making, etc.

"Watch border collies take part in agility competitions, and try knitting with the help of experts. Children can get creative making a fun sheep-themed craft, while also helping Little Bo Peep to find her sheep. It's 'shear' fun at the Canada Agriculture Museum this Victoria Day weekend.""
