The Shining Shetlands
The Shining Shetlands are a group of kids who raise money for a charity. We are the Shining Shetlands! Our group is made up of five kids: Emma Hopkins, Samantha Ludlam, Anna Hopkins, Alex Ludlam, and Joe Ludlam. We raise money for Heifer Project International by selling our Kool-Aid died wool and other Shetland fiber products at sheep shows. You can usually find us by our pens: Little Eagle Creek Farm and Windswept Farms.
In 2005 we decided that we should sell Shetland wool products with just the group of us kids. So we asked people at the show that we were at (I think it was the 2005 All American Junior Sheep Show), what our name should be. At the end of that show the results showed that they liked the name "The Shining Shetlands" the best. Then our Moms suggested that we should give the money to a charity. We wanted a charity that had something to do with animals since we all raise our own sheep. We decided on Heifer Project International.
Just last year we raised enough money to buy a sheep. Now this year we have a new goal of raising $500 for the "Wool Basket." This package is one with lots of wool animals like angora rabbits and goats, a llama or alpaca and a sheep. It took us over two years to reach our goal of $110 for a sheep, but right now with just this year's sheep shows we've been to we have enough money to buy a whole other sheep!!!
Please, if you have a question or a comment please feel free to call The Farm. Thank You!!!!!!
