Make It With Wool Looking for Producer Judges

Make It With Wool is looking for two wool producers (male or female) to serve as judges for the National Make It With Wool Finals during the American Sheep Industry Association Annual Convention in Scottsdale, Ariz., next month. Volunteers must be able to help determine which wool fashions best represent the wool industry.

There will be a total of six judges (two who specialize in fashion design, two who specialize in construction and two wool producers). These hard-to-fill wool producer positions are critical, as it is the wool industry’s product Make It With Wool is marketing.

Judging is an all-day event scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 24. National Make It With Wool Director Lynda Jordan Johnson will hold a 30-minute judges' meeting to start the day. After the meeting, judges break into two groups and judge apparel construction for their respective age division (junior or senior). There will be a break for lunch, and judges receive a complimentary meal at the hotel restaurant. Fashion judging takes place immediately after lunch and typically takes until 5 p.m.

Please consider volunteering. For more information, contact Arizona Make It With Wool Director Rali Burleson at scottrali@cox.net or 480-948-6258.
