Community involvement
The Wyoming Sheep and Wool Festival was created to celebrate the sheep and wool industries throughout the state. Each year, we plan to involve a historic sheep community in the planning of the Festival. We are proud to partner, in 2025, with the city of Buffalo, WY. For more information, please read below and visit the links to learn more about the community.
