PAOBA Breeder’s Showcase 2010

We are only planning to do one alpaca show this spring and that show is the PAOBA Breeder’s Showcase in York, PA.  It is being held May 8th & 9th 2010 in the Toyota Arena at the York Fairgrounds.  We chose this show because it is close to our farm and we can meet more local people interested in alpacas.

We are planning to take Gaston and Belle, and with them being from the same dam we entered Snowfox in the Produce of Dam class.  We missed an opportunity a couple years ago to enter a Product of Dam class because we thought it took three offspring, like the Get of Sire class, but it only takes two.  As I’m writing this I’m thinking I could have entered Gaston in the Bred and owned yearly class.  I’ll have to see if I can get him in the class.

If you come to the PAOBA Breeder’s Showcase be sure to stop by our stall and talk to us.

? Well it’s all over!? At least for us, I’m writing this post at 8:00 PM Sunday evening, having left at around 4:00 PM.? There were still a lot of classes left to go and some people thought it could be going on until 8:00 or 9:00 in the evening.? I sure hope they got it all wrapped up.? Because of a bunch of other stuff going on at the moment this was the first year in several that I haven’t volunteered to help setup and/or tear down.? I just want to thank all those that did volunteer, I know there’s a lot of work involved.

And as promised here is the picture of the boys with Dakari and their ribbons.? Way to go guys!
