Events of interest to alpaca breeders and owners ...

The goal of this page is to provide a single source for finding out what is happening in the alpaca community.  Feel free to send us details of your local events as well as any A&P or judged alpaca shows in your area.  Since many Kiwis go to Australian, American and other overseas events, we'll endeavor to keep up with those as well.
