Wyoming Sheep and Wool Festival

Calling all small & midsize wool mill owners/operators: ASI is using a short survey to update the Small & Midsize Mill Directory and help guide future support for mills. This directory is heavily used by producers and customers to find mill services, so keeping your listing accurate matters.

If you receive the survey, please take a few minutes to respond.

2026 Wyoming Sheep & Wool Festival Sponsorship Opportunities

The Festival committee is seeking sponsorships for our 4th Annual Wyoming Sheep & Wool Festival in Powell, WY. Please scroll the carousel for more information about the levels, our rancher's corner, and the different activities this event provides.

The WWGA & WSWF committee started this event to celebrate all things sheep and wool in Wyoming because it's our passion. We all eat, sleep and breathe the sheep industry; from it's history, the cultures immersed within, the consumer appreciation for the fiber and the amazing products these animals create, to the unwavering support of all the operators, mills, plants, shearers, wool classers, and PEOPLE who make this industry go. This is a passion project that we all believe should be FREE to the public so no one feels they can't be apart of it. We want everyone to have access to the event, the networking, celebration, and learning that takes place there. This is why we ask for sponsor support of this event. Please consider giving to the event today to ensure we can continue offering each program free of charge.
