Come Join The Fun At The 2013 New York State Sheep And Wool Festival!!!
October brings fresh apples, autumn leaves, and the NYS Sheep And Wool Festival at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, NY!
Come join me on Saturday October 19 from 11-3, with a special story time at 12:15 when I'll read Can't Sleep Without Sheep!
While you're waiting for the Sheep & Wool Festival to get here, you can do something fun!
In Can't Sleep Without Sheep, Ava has a hard time falling asleep so she counts sheep. But she has to count them so many times that they get tired and quit! Ava has to find something else to count instead!

For a chance to win a free, signed copy of Can't Sleep Without Sheep, you can do one of two fun things!
1. On a piece of paper, write down what animal Ava could count instead of sheep and why it would be a good choice for falling asleep.
OR
2. Draw a picture of an animal Ava could count! (You can draw on your own piece of paper or use this free downloadable page)
Bring your entry with you to the Merritt Bookstore booth in Building B on Saturday October 19 by 1 PM (but come at 12:15 if you want to hear the story!) Please make sure your name is on your entry. After the story, we will randomly choose one winner to receive a free, signed copy of the book. You must be present to win.
My friend, Iza Trapani, will also be at the festival reading her delightful book, Baa Baa Black Sheep! Please visit her site for a chance to win a book from her, and be sure to come see her at the festival on Saturday between 9 and 12:30 or on Sunday from 10-5!
If you're excited to share you entry ideas or drawings, you are welcome to post them in the comment section below. You can also take a picture of your drawing and email it to me at susanna[at]susannahill[dot]com and I will be glad to add it to this post so visitors can enjoy your artwork!
Have fun writing and drawing! I look forward to seeing you at the festival!
