We will?be doing our product stand at Criative Acres Alpacas?in Jarretsville, MD where you will be more than welcome to stop by and see us.? John & Renee will have some wonderful alpacas there for everyone to see and visit with.

Oct 4, 18 & 25, 2008 – Ashcombe Fall Festival, come out to a wonderful time.? In years past we’ve had loads of fun at this event.? There’s usually a corn maze, straw pit, pumkin picking and lots of other fall events.? We always look forward to the homemade apple butter.? If you haven’t gotten your alpaca sweater yet, this would be a good opportunity as there is usually getting to be a nip on the air by October.

Nov 8,9,15 & 16, 2008?- Big Rock Alpaca Farm Open House, our annual open house will be the 2nd and 3rd weekends in November.? Come out and see the widest selection of alpaca products that we have available.? Do your Christmas shopping in a quiet rural setting.? There will be alpacas available to see and feel!

? If you recall back at the beginning of June we had our first cutting of hay made.? I’ve talked to Rick from Rick’s Custom Baling and we’ve decided to give it a little more time.? We wont be getting a third cutting so we want to make the most of the second.

? I do know that Rick just did a second cutting of hay for Ian over at Big Mount Alpacas.

We’ve finally come up with a name for our latest edition.? We’re calling him Gaston, as in the vain character in ‘Beauty and the Beast’, and we think he has plenty of reasons to be vain.? At only two months of age he already weights almost 50lbs and quite enjoys torment his mother, Snowfox and Rose who is due at the end of August.??We actually got several good suggestions on names, several from John Petersam of Criative Acres Alpacas,?which we may well use in the future but none of them quite fit Gaston.
