Sheep

There's no actual point to this post, except I vaguely recall my reader requesting a blog about sheep awhile ago. Maybe "requesting" isn't the right word...how about "mentioned". This is from last fall's Irish Fest in Indianapolis. Part of the fun and festivities is watching the sheep dogs herd the sheep within a small pen. I supposed they have to keep them enclosed, with all the Irish dancing and Guinness drinking going on everywhere else on the festival grounds.
Only 2 more months till the next Irish Fest. But before then, there's the Indiana State Fair and MORE chances for blogs about farm animals. This is, after all, the blog about everything.

Hmm... (Scottish) border collie and (I think) Scottish blackface sheep at an Irish festival? Maybe they should change the name to Celtic Festival :-)
I just looked up Scottish blackface, and in Ireland they are called blackface mountain.

It is actually a celebration of Celtic culture, not just Irish. If you want to hear live bagpipe music, buy a kilt or a CD by a Welsh group, this is the place. No Cornish language CDs, though. But I expect the name "Irish Fest" to stay firmly attached to this event.
