Traffic halts on city streets and State Highway 75 to allow the 1,700 sheep to complete their annual trek. Residents and visitors come to watch and “trail” (walk) behind the sheep herding them through the fall afternoon reliving the slower pace of a bygone era. A Folk-life Fair on Saturday, with sheep shearing and herding demonstrations, as well as music, dancing, food and games. (800) 634-3347.
