Re: [AlpacaTalk] New to group - fill my brain!
Hi Bill,
We are in Creswell, just below Eugene. We will be at
the EVAA show as well. Heather is the fleece show
coordinator and my mom Sheri Hewitt is the Show
Coordinator. you should definitely enter your fleeces
if for no other reason but to get your feet wet! We
would love to have you come out to our farm for a
visit and get to know our new alpaca neighbors!
