NOTE: No dogs, horses, or any other livestock are allowed in the barns, coliseum, arenas or offices at any time. NO PETS IN THE BARNS. All pets on the grounds must be kept on a maximum 6’ leash at all times and are the owner’s responsibility. This is a county ordinance. Failure to comply will result in notifying Animal Control. No pets are allowed in the barns, coliseum, arena or in any office at any time.

Parents - We love you and your children and want to share the wonder of our beloved alpacas with you, your family and friends. For their safety and your sanity do not let your children run around and be extremely respectful of the alpacas and their owners. Ask questions and ask to touch before doing so. This will make for a much happier memory.

FRIDAY NITE PIZZA PARTY

After settling the alpacas in their stalls and completing check-in join your fellow breeders for a well deserved break in the barn with pizza and beverages provided by the Virginia Alpaca Group.

Saturday retro party/Pen Sale

You old school? Prove it! Saturday after the show experience the 80s again (as if once wasn't enough) with food, music, prizes, and an Alpaca Pen Sale. All are welcome!

Sunday Morning with Arturo

Wish you had time for a seminar when attending a show? Here's your answer, make plans to settle in for an hour of education, alpaca style, promptly at 8:30 am on Sunday morning. Our judge, Arturo Pena will present a seminar on a topic of his choice. His wealth of knowledge and guidance will make a difference with your herd and farm practices.

If you missed this opportunity last year, don't make the same mistake again. Those that did attend learned all about improving their farm's bottom line using proven (and demonstrated) techniques during shearing. Be there!
