2023 ANNUAL LAMB AND WOOL FAIR
“COUNTING ON EWE TO JOIN US”!!
The City of Scio is excited for this year’s fair – “Counting on Ewe to Join Us”. The theme is very appropriate, as it depicts the partnerships that help make Scio and the surrounding area a great place to live, work and play!
It is their hope that you experience a warm welcome when attending this year’s fair. Fair time allows you an opportunity to gather together and enjoy family and friends, reconvene old traditions and celebrate Scio’s rich family heritage, agricultural history and beautiful natural resources.

Come celebrate the 85th year of what organizers say is the longest-running sheepdog trial in the country on May 19 through 21. The NW Champion Sheepdog Trial is held in conjunction with the Linn County Lamb and Wool Fair, which is celebrating its 88th year.
The sheepdog trials will take place at Wolston Farm, 39562 Highway 226 off of Franklin Butte Road beginning at 8am and last until all dogs have run.

It’s Iron Water Ranch’s 5th Lamb & Fleece Summer Sale and it is set to be the best yet. They will have fleeces and fiber for sale, lambs available for sale and pickup, and classes for those looking to learn something new!
Saturday, July 22, 11:00 AM-4:00PM
Sunday, July 23, 10:00AM-3:00 PM
Their summer sale is all about showcasing their hard work throughout the year! Typically, this sale would be hosted in May but due to a bit of a later lambing season, they are doing it in July this year.
If you are on their list to get lambs, this is a great weekend for pick ups! Shepherding 101 which covers basic care of your new flock will also be hosted during this event so be sure to register soon!
There will be gorgeous fleeces, yarn, dryer balls, and all manner of fibery goodness available. Also available will be purebred lambs and fiber animals to go home with you and grow beautiful wool.
