********************Bellepacas' Weekly Goings on!!**********************

Hi Everyone!!  Well, after last week's correspondence sabbatical, we've got lots of ground to cover in this week's email!!  So let's jump in!  Personally, I cannot believe that we're into May already!  Thank heaven for the tax extension- gave me a breather to get ours turned in Monday.  So onward!  We're looking forward to a busy weekend and hope you'll make it on down!  So let's get started!


                                ******************Mother's Day Weekend!*********************


One of my favorite days of the year!  We'll kick it off with Friday at the Farm at my studio today, 5/7, from 1-5 p.m.  Although some folks are wandering back North for the summer months, we hard core  fiber folk will be gathering to celebrate the 4 F's:  friends, fiber, food, and fun!  Simultaneously, the Farm Shop will be open, stocked with all the goodies you've come to know and love! We've got our wonderful alpaca yarns- dyed and natural; fresh eggs from our "girls"; our imports from Peru- alpaca teddy bears, alpaca socks, hand-knit finger puppets, woven ditty bags; felted products made by a women's co-op in Nepal; goat and cows' milk cheeses; certified organic soaps from right here in central Florida; and tons of hand-knit/ hand-woven garments and household goods!  Oh, and I almost forgot- I'm still making and selling masks!!

Farm Shop- Saturday, 5/8- 10 am- 4 pm
Farm Shop- Sunday- 5/9- 1-4 pm

                                  *********************Shearing Day 2021**********************

With our other semblance of a return to normalcy, we're having Shearing Day this year on Sunday, May 23,  once again, we'll have Matt back to shear, with the able help of Deb Marsicano and her FFA students from New Smyrna Beach HS. Together, we'll shear, trim feet, grind teeth as needed, and de-worm.  We usually wind down around 1 p.m., so come for any or all of it!  I always point out that less than 2% of the U.S. population lives on family farms today.  We love for you to actually experience a family farm in action- and don't forget, in addition to our "girls", whose eggs will be available for sale, you'll get a chance to meet Johnny and Carol, our two adorable goats, who provide comic relief around here!!  Refreshments will be served!!  The Farm Shop will be open!  It's all good!  And it will take place rain or shine! So come on down!!
