The Festival Thats All About Sheep Idaho Public Television 2024-09-12 | Welcome To Sheep CountryFor centuries, ranchers like John and Diane Peavey have trailed bands of sheep through Idaho’s Wood River Valley to graze in southern fields in the fall. The significance of that history is often lost on new residents in the valley, a population that has exponentially grown in recent decades. In 2023, the 27th annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival continued its decades-long effort to honor the past, present, and future of Idaho sheep ranching through storytelling, craftsmanship, and, of course, the Big Sheep Parade. Each October, the festival continues to grow, as curious new Idahoans flock to Sun Valley to eat the food, see the performances, and hear the stories of Idaho’s multicultural herding community.

The first event was the naming of the vessel. The second event was the keel-laying ceremony, officially marking the beginning of construction, which took place in August 2020 in Quonset Point, R.I. After the christening, the submarine will undergo sea trials to ensure the ship's performance is in accordance with plans and specifications, according to the release. After this rigorous series of tests, which should take about a year, the vessel will be accepted by the U.S. Navy in a commissioning ceremony prior to becoming an active part of the nation's military strategy.“This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event; to celebrate the naming of a Navy ship for the great state of Idaho, to honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans, to recognize the incredible Navy history and Navy legacy our state has and to recognize the amazing contribution our state has made to the acoustic stealth and nuclear power technology of our submarine force,” said former Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne.
