Henry Snider came to the Open House with his mother and sister, he was curious to know more about the sheep shearing, so I invited him to come and watch. He did, and seemed to study every detail. Without being asked, Henry picked up some of the plastic trash bags and helped us collect the wool.

He never got bored, distracted, or wavered. He stayed through the end.

He was meticulous and picked up even the smallest scraps, he was fearless and worked close to the struggling sheep, he was savvy, knowing when to move and get out of the way. I’d like to invite him to come and help us whenever the shearer comes, he was impressive, one of the many bright lights of the Open House.
