Maple Crest Farm, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, in Hermon, Maine will host a free, open to the public, fund raiser for Cancer Care of Maine and will include a sheep shearing contest organized by Edie Kirshner, a fourth generation sheep shearer. There may also be an alpaca shearing demonstration as well. All proceeds will go to Cancer Care of Maine. For more information go to maplecrest.farm and click on Shearing for a Cure.
