Rylee's Utah History Fair

After we attended Treyson's school event we went over to Rylee's Utah History Fair. He is proudly displaying his booth.
He did his fair project on the "Baron Woolen Mills" in Brigham City Utah. We were able to find a wool sweater that my mother had knit. (He was wearing it but soon found out that wool is very warm) We also found socks and golves that she had knit for my dad. Then we found a wool rug that mom and dad used to pick up from the Baron Woolen Mills when they took thier sheep wool up at the first of the year. We also found a really nice new woolen blanket that actually was in the wrapper marked with Baron Woolen Mills. How cool is that? We went to the internet and pulled off some information about when it was built etc. It was actually built by Pres. Lorenzo Snow! He also found some pictures of when the sheep get sheered. It was fun project and was fund to show him all of the things that my mom and dad did with wool.
Way to go Rylee. Good Job!
