Michele was the winner of Fleece Blanket Giveaway 1 and as we said, there are plenty more Fleece Blanket Giveaways in the works, so here it is:

Fleece blankets (also called fleece throws) are made from Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other synthetic fibers and can also be made out of recycled PET bottles or recycled fleece. They are lightweight, warm, soft, and hydrophobic; holding less than 1% of their weight in water which allows them to retain much of their insulating powers even when wet.

Fleece blankets are machine washable, dry quickly, are very breathable and will not lose their thickness when compressed; it does not matter if you crush, pull, twist or wad up the blanket it will come back to its original shape and thickness.

It is these properties that make fleece blankets ideal around your household or farm and The Mohawk Valley Trading Co. has teamed up with Crooked Brook to sponsor some fleece blanket giveaways.

There are many things you could do with these second quality fleece throws. First, if it is a smudge that can be washed out, you may be able to use the blankets as they are. If not, you could decorate it with a crocheted edge or make fleece pullovers, scarves, booties, hats, vests and lots of other items.

Under new legislation being advocated by the Department of Labor, kids under 18 would not be allowed to do many of the chores on their own family’s farm or a neighbor’s.

Under the proposed regulations:

• Anyone under age 16 could not operate any power-driven machines unless the child was under the supervision of a parent or guardian.

• Kids would be prohibited from handling non-castrated livestock older than 6 months, sows with suckling pigs or cows with a newborn calf. They also could not be in situations where an animal’s behavior might be "unpredictable", such as giving shots, dehorning or breeding.

• Prohibit young workers from “working from a ladder or scaffold at a height of over 20 feet”.

• Limit the exposure of young farm workers to “extreme temperatures and/or arduous conditions” (like snow, sleet, hail and rain, the hot sun, high humidity).

The list goes on.

Oh, and by the way, the proposal also calls for new penalties and fines as a means of enforcing the new regulations.

In response to this, The Mohawk Valley Trading Co. has partnered with custom t-shirt printer Crooked Brook to sponsor a ““Department of Labor, Keep Off My Farm!” T-Shirt Giveaway.

This white, 6.1 oz., 100% cotton t-shirt is printed using Direct to Garment Printing (DTG) technology which uses eco-friendly water soluble inks.

The winner will be chosen randomly, from those who post a comment with the correct answer to this question;

What are domestic pigs that have escaped and gone feral called?
