Register for the A-OK Fleece Show through the Alpaca Show Registration System
NEW FOR 2026!
A-OK is pleased to offer fleece exhibitors an additional opportunity as a back-to-back event with the TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular Fleece Show. Entry into both shows is not a requirement—you may still enter only the A-OK Alpaca Blast-Off Fleece Show if budget concerns are a deciding factor.
TXOLAN will conduct its own Sweetheart Spectacular Fleece Show on Tuesday and Wednesday preceding the A-OK Alpaca Blast-Off Fleece Show, in the same building and fleece-show rooms at the Grady County Fairgrounds & Event Center in Chickasha, Oklahoma.
Enter Both Shows — Ship Your Fleeces Only Once!
Exhibitors who enter both fleece shows may ship their fleeces to the TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular Fleece Show after they have registered for both shows The first judging will be:
TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular Fleece Show
Judge: Jacob Hart
Following completion of the TXOLAN judging, fleeces that are also entered in the A-OK show will be transferred directly to the A-OK Alpaca Blast-Off Fleece Show for a second judging.
A-OK Alpaca Blast-Off Fleece Show
Judge: Frauke Berman
There is no need to ship your fleeces a second time between shows.
For fleeces entered in both shows, return-shipping fees will be paid to Alpacas of Oklahoma (A-OK) when registering for the A-OK Fleece Show.
TWO SHOWS • TWO DIFFERENT JUDGES • ONE ROUND-TRIP SHIPMENT!
This gives exhibitors two opportunities to have their fleeces evaluated by two different judges while avoiding the expense and inconvenience of shipping their fleeces separately to two different show locations.
IMPORTANT—The TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular Fleece Show and the A-OK Alpaca Blast-Off Fleece Show are separate shows and require separate registrations and entry fees.
