The third annual Indiana Alpaca Invitational
for 2010 falls on Easter weekend. The show will be Friday and
Saturday, April 2-3, with check-in Thursday April 1 at the Allen
County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, IN. In 2008 and
2009 this show was a Level V; we would like to continue that
success and welcome your participation! Sponsorships are available.
Everyone will be able to take advantage
of the local FFA and Young Farmers volunteers that will be there
again to help unload the trailers and escort you to your stalls.
In past years proceeds from the silent auction have been donated
to these groups for their efforts.
To celebrate the Easter holiday, there will be an Egg Hunt (WITH
PRIZES) for all who participate in the youth and costume classes.
The Holiday Inn across the street from
the Coliseum will be the host hotel again this year.
