Dear Alpaca Exhibitors, Vendors and Guests:
Welcome to the 2012 National Champions’ Alpaca Show, an ALSA sanctioned show at The Champions Center in Springfield, Ohio. We have created a “complete” show experience in a “small” show venue. This two-day show has one or two halter rings, depending on the number of entries. There will be great competition in a more personal environment, where farms new and old, small and large will come, exhibit, and feel at home.
We have provided a show experience for families. A complete performance show will be offered on Saturday, with showmanship, obstacle, public relations, and pack for adults, youth at all age levels, and even the very young. Performance Championships will be awarded for those competing in Open and Youth classes.
The Show will host a Meet & Greet informal light supper on Friday evening, seminars Friday afternoon, vendors and fiber arts demonstrations all weekend.
There’s a complete fleece show! This show includes a “Mail In” 2 oz. sample show that will judged prior to the event and displayed throughout the weekend. The Fleece Show will be judged Friday Evening. The Walking Fiber classes always are a complete sell out! Be sure to enter in advance. Championships in the Sample, Fleece show and Walking Fiber competitions will be awarded based on number of entries.
The National Champions’ Alpaca Show is incorporated as a 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation, run by volunteers and committed to invest all excess profits back to the alpaca industry to support education, medical research, and science.
We truly appreciate the support we have received from our sponsors and our many volunteers. The quality of this show depends on your financial contributions, time and talent!
Please look through these web pages. You will find information that will help you complete the registration forms, reserve hotel rooms and get directions to the show facility. We look forward to seeing you on September 28-September 30, 2012!
