All of us in Alpacas of Oklahoma hope that you will take time to read all about our show on our website before you register.
We are excited to return to Chickasha OK—now with TWO Shows!
- Our A-OK Alpaca Blast-Off Show will be concurrent with our inaugural A-OK Rose Rock Re-Entry Show!
- Both are in a new, modern and clean location at the Grady County Fairgrounds & Event Center! Chickasha OK is on IH44 and just 40 minutes southwest of Oklahoma City!
- We have Brand new Kritter Keeper panels that are a full 10′ x 10′!
- Our traditional fleece show returns again this year!
- We have our photo contest again!
- Some fresh faces in our great judges panel that you have not been seen at our show in a while!
- Fairfield Inn is our Host Hotel, and is close to the Arena with a reasonable rate.
- Our Friday evening Meet & Greet is expanded along with a Cash Bar.
- Harvest Banquet with a Cash Bar.
- Speaking of food, the Climate Controlled Concession & Dining Area will be open!
- And, as always, we still are very affordable with some of the lowest prices in the nation, and we also have the best volunteers of any show in the nation!
- We appreciate so much those that gave us a great 2021 A-OK Blast-Off Alpaca Show with 13 Color Champions awarded in Halter and both a male & female Judge’s Choice as well. We expect a great show in 2022 with competitive events and wonderful attendance.
Be a part of it the 2022 A-OK Alpaca Blast-Off Show!!
