NY Sheep and Wool Festival Bus Trip – Sat., Oct 19, 2024

*This event is SOLD OUT, please email rabbitrowyarns@gmail.com or call the shop at 607-654-7383 to be added to the WAITLIST  

Join us for our FIRST Rabbit Row Yarns group trip to the NY Sheep & Wool Festival (NYSWF) – a.k.a. Rhinebeck! 

Shop over 250 vendors, visit the animal barns and watch competitions, meet some of your favorite designers, buy something you shouldn’t at the equipment auction, and most importantly, be inspired by all the creativity that surrounds you!

We plan to arrive at the fairgrounds around 9:30 am, take a group photo and you’ll be off squishing yarns, drooling over colors and taking selfies with alpaca!  The festival ends at 5pm – just head back to the bus for what will be a very chatty ride home!

$110*/person includes: (*NOTE: price increases to $125/person on July 20th).

• Round-trip bus service to the Dutchess County Fairgrounds

• One-day (Saturday) admission ticket to the NY Sheep & Wool Festival

• Tote bag filled with goodies – like discounts to festival vendors!

• Suggested ‘not to miss’ events/booths

• I debated about offering a breakfast option, but instead ask that you plan to bring your own meal/snack for the bus.  We will have bottled water available for you.  There are MANY food vendors at the festival – plan to eat something before the bus ride home. 

Pick-up/Drop-off Points  - select your spot from the drop down menu – if there are less than 5 people for any stop, we may ask you to be picked up at the next closest location.  Pick-up times are approximate – help us be on time by being to your pick-up location EARLY and ready to hop on the bus.

A tradition at NYSWF is for attendees to wear their own handmade “Rhinebeck Sweater.” Around August, knit/crochetwear designers begin releasing their Rhinebeck Sweater patterns.  Search Instagram for #rhinebecksweater2024 for some ideas.  Rabbit Row can also organize a Rhinebeck Knit-a-Long if people are interested!
