scone.com.auSheep Galloped Down Bettington
THE 236 sheep in the Festival of the Fleeces parade this year were definitely in a hurry this year.
In previous years they have taken their time meandering down Bettington Street in their red socks, but this year they broke into a run.
The weather was overcast, but their spirits were high.
