2023 FLEECE SHOW RESULTS |
As the saying goes, "This one is in the books!" The 2023 Suri Network All Suri Fleece Show is noodled and in the bag! It was a great success with the excellent work of Superintendents Dawn Browning and Judy Schroeder as her assistant, AOA Judges Jude Anderson and Cheryl Gehly, and a fantastic group of volunteers. A HUGE THANK-YOU to our volunteers (pictured above) Abby Shelhart, Paula Clegg, Beth Sheets, Nancy Lindemood, and Beth Cripe. Not pictured are Lydia Au, Dan Clegg, Lisa Collura, Yvonne Jones, Karolyn Knoll, Steve Ross, and Laurel Shouvlin . Everyone worked long days, and many paid for hotels and travel to advance your Suri industry with this show. When you see them, be sure to thank them for their efforts! We saw increases in all competitions which included 18 Fiber Arts entries, 14 Skein entries, 79 Spin Off entries, and 225 Regular Fleece Show entries! There were also 4 entries in Produce of Dam and 5 entries in Get of Sire. Maureen Macedo judged the 79 entries for the Spin Off and Elizabeth Taylor judged our Fiber Arts Competition. We will post those results as soon as they are available. You can now view the Regular Fleece Show results on the AOA website. Use this link and scroll down to access the pdf.
