DALMALLY is preparing to celebrate its woolliest residents at the village’s first sheep festival.
The event, from noon on Saturday October 15 at Dalmally shinty field, coincides with the annual blackface ram auction, or ‘tup sale’ at Dalmally Mart, and will include activities for families and local arts and crafts.
The highlight will be the Wool Sack Race, a test of strength and speed in which teams of four competitors carry a large, full wool sack the width of the village shinty field (approximately 80m) competing for glory, and a prize sponsored by local brewer Fyne Ales.
