Above are photos of the filming crew from the Tennessee Crossroads television show, a local TV program in the Central Tennessee area. They were very interested in the Mini Silkies and shot a short interview with Renee and Maggie Mae. You can also see in the background how many people attended the Goats, Music and More Festival in Lewisburg. It's one of the city's biggest events of the year. It was a picture perfect fall day which was appreciated by the goats and the exhibitors.
