Border Collies

Temperament: Affectionate, Smart and Energetic.  Standard height 19 to 22 inches.  Weight: 30 to 55 pounds.  Part of the Herding Group.

A remarkably bright workaholic, the Border Collie is an amazing dog—maybe a bit too amazing for owners without the time, energy, or means to keep it occupied. These energetic dogs will settle down for cuddle time when the workday is done.

The Festival offers an interesting demonstration of the herding skills of the Border Collie. Bailey family of Red Creek Farm, demonstrators.

Falconry

Falconry is the hunting of wild animals in their natural state and habitat by means of a trained bird of prey. There are two traditional terms used to describe a person involved in falconry: a falconer flies a falcon; an austringer flies a hawk or an eagle.

Falconry, one of the world’s oldest hunting sports.  Demonstrators from the Georgia Falconry Association will be appearing with many raptor species.
