- We have custom made Kritter Keeper panels that are a full 10′ x 10′!
- Our traditional fleece show returns again this year!
- We have our photo contest again!
- Our Judges Panel now has FIVE Judges!
- 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 we still are very affordable with some of the lowest prices in the nation.
- We also have the best volunteers of any show in the nation—but we could use your help!
- We appreciate so much those that gave us a great 2022 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 2023 with competitive events and wonderful attendance.
