[AlpacaTalk] Re: VAOBA show in October

 

Hi Laura

I have answers! :-)

Huacaya fleece length minimum for full fleece is 2". Suri minimum is 3". We will be putting in shorn classes on an as needed basis though so he will show regardless.

Suri classes at this show have small numbers typically. We are always working to increase numbers so there are no guarantees!

Costume:
1.
The Costume Class is a very entertaining class for the audience at a show. Exhibitors must actively participate in the development of a costume for themselves and the alpaca that follows the theme set forth by the show (optional,show may allow full creativity.)
2.
The class is judged on originality and complexity of costume, (does costume present some challenge to the alpaca to wear i.e. does alpaca accept dangling cloth or objects around its legs or wear leggings.)
3.
A short story to describe the characters the exhibitor and alpaca are representing is to be prepared by the exhibitor and handed into the ring steward prior to the class and will be read by the announcer while the exhibitor and their alpaca parade around the ring.

Hope this helps!
