The Kentucky Wool Festival saw the first light of day while the winter winds whistled throughout the hills of Pendleton County. A small group of interested citizens who saw the untapped potential of the area met in January of 1983 desirous of creating a unique festival. With the guidance of a University of Kentucky Extension Specialist, it was decided to look to the past for a source of a “theme.” Thus the Kentucky Wool Festival was conceived and in the first week end of October 1983
We here at the Kentucky Wool Festival have a few simple goals we attempt to accomplish each year. They include, but are not limited to:
- To hold an annual event that takes place the 1st Friday, Saturday and Sunday in October.
- Be unique.
- Promote sheep, wool products, and the local community.
- Have heritage demonstrations going on throughout the festival.
- Offer activities for all age groups. Maintain a family oriented atmosphere.
- Provide an opportunity for community and school organizations, crafts people, and individuals to raise money as an alternative of door to door sales or fund raising drives.
- Entertain the public by providing an environment where the people can meet, have fun, hear live music, and learn about our history.
