Thank you for a wonderful day!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual Sheep Shearing,  which took place on Sunday, May 1st, 2011.

Rainbeau Ridge's 2011 Sheep Shearing took place at the John Jay Homestead at 400 Jay Street (Route 22) right nearby in Katonah, NY.

Everyone who came, had a great opportunity to watch the sheep, including the Jacob Sheep, get their annual fiber haircuts . . . and enjoyed a full afternoon of special activities for the whole family.

This year's Rainbeau Ridge Sheep Shearing was held at the John Jay Homestead.
