This is a picture of me and my alpaca from last year Mia for the fair.  There is an annual county 4-H fair every year in mid August.  The alpaca club, Cria-tion, attends this event each and every time to show off what we have taught our young animals to do, how hard we have worked to gain their trust, and to introduce these animals to the public.  We share our knowledge with all the fairgoers and they love watching the showmanship and agility classes.

Every year sometime in April, the Mid-Atlantic Alpaca Association holds a huge show in Harrisburg, PA.  Only some of our members attend because it is a long trip.  It is an amazing show. It is free to the public and there are free seminars and you can purchase alpaca products such as clothing and jewlery and stuffed animals.  You can also purchase products to use with and for the alpacas.  Sometimes our members are even able to show during the event which is always exciting.
