If you are on the road and realize that you will be late checking in on Thursday night, please call/text Elizabeth (Buffy) Bernard at (618) 231-6007 to make arrangements for Vet Check and Color Check.

  • Once onto the Fairgrounds…
  • Go past the Event Center (a few prior turns if taking either entrance)
    • At the back/south side of the Event Center (#6) turn right to travel toward the back of the Indoor Arena (#3) which is the next building on your right.
    • Stop at the covered awning (or in line with those before you) between the Indoor Area on your right and the Junior Arena on your left. (See map below.)  
    • NOTE: Thanks for not blocking the driveway between the Event Center and the Indoor Arena as there may be traffic needing to flow through after they have unloaded.
  • A representative of your ranch should go into the large Arena door to the Check-In Area.
    • Please have your paperwork listed above with you!  
    • Identify your ranch.  
    • Alpacas will be Vet-checked on the trailer.
    • Once Vet-checked, you will be given a Check-In Sheet. This is very important. You cannot get into the Arena without it.  
  • You will be given a sheet with your Ranch Owner and/or Driver listed. Please FILL IN your cell phone number(s)! PLEASE KEEP THIS VISIBLE ON YOUR VEHICLE’S DASHBOARD! Our staff or volunteers may need to get in touch with you!

 Unloading & Parking Procedure

  • A volunteer will direct you into the unloading areas on the west or east side of the Indoor Arena.
    • Back up to one of the large doors closest to your stalls, and just unload. PLEASE—DO NOT PULL UP PARALLEL TO THE BUILDING AS THIS BLOCKS TOO MANY OTHER EXHIBITORS!
    • There will be a large stall map inside the arena at the back of the building near the vet check station.
  • Volunteers with 4-wheel Gators will help you unload if needed. Please unload all your gear and your animals as quickly as possible.
    • Once unloaded, pull your trailer to the designated trailer parking area of the facility.  
    • PLEASE—WAIT TO SET UP YOUR STALLS UNTIL YOU HAVE REMOVED YOUR TRAILER FROM THE UNLOADING AREAS.  There simply is not enough room to leave unloaded trailers at/beside the doorways.
    • Trailer parking is in Area #11 on the map. Although the map on this page is outdated and says “Grass Parking,” it is now a gravel parking lot.
    • Please secure your Trailer. A-OK is not liable for theft or damage while you are at the show.

Stall Information

  • Stalling at the Blastoff is on concrete. 
    • Each stall will be provided with a bag of pelletized bedding. 
    • Stall mats are highly recommended to be placed on top of the bedding. 
    • Please bring your own mats. 
    • Please be sure to bring appropriate Gate Closures.
      A-OK does NOT provide these!
  • There will be a large stall map inside the arena at the back of the building near the vet check station.

Compliance Check

  • As soon as you can, take your animals and the check-in sheet to Compliance Checking in the show ring.
  • Once you have been Compliance-checked, exchange your pink sheet for your show numbers and exhibitor packet with the volunteer who is set up at Compliance Checking. 
    • You will also be asked to settle up any fees owed at this time. Contact Debbie Ashley who is A-OK’s Treasurer & Event Coordinator to make your payment. This must be done before you can obtain your Show numbers and packet. A-OK does not offer credit or an extended payment plan.
    • Numbers needing color/class change will be retained and returned to you once the new class is assigned.  Listen for announcements!

Other Points

Biosecurity—You may wish to consider hanging a barrier such as a tarp or drape to minimize contact. 

Thanks for being nice to the volunteers!  Remember, they are volunteers, and we really need their help! Enjoy the show and we welcome any suggestions for making things better.
