Posted by on July 18, 2012
The Woolcraft committee would like to commend the judges and stewards who participated in this year’s judging. The competition entries were of an incredibly high standard! We greatly appreciate the interest and patience displayed throughout the dedicated process that lasted up to 6 hours. We hope the new judges will join us again next year for another rewarding experience!
