Get ready for the 11th Annual Alpaca Ontario Spring Show! This halter show has almost 400 alpacas in every colour of the alpaca rainbow. In addition to a world class contest featuring two show rings, you can look forward to a fantastic fibre arts competition and alpaca fashion show.

Organization of 2012 Alpaca Ontario Show is the responsibility of the Show Steering Committee (SSC) which consists of 8 members, each of whom oversees a sub-committee of more volunteers.

Members of the SSC for 2012 are:

• Margaret MacDonald - Chair
• Brian Riff - Past-Chair
• Tracey VanHerpe – Sponsorship, AO Board Liason
• Suelaine Poot – Full Fleece Halter Show
• Stacey Davis - Fibre Exhibition
• Dee Graham - Advertising/Promotion
• Melody Macdonald - Financials
• David MacDonald - Facilities
• Alanna Riff - Registrar & Showbook

This will be a weekend you do not want to miss. The Full Fleece Halter Show provides breeders the opportunity to demonstrate the strength of each farm’s breeding program. Youth Performance classes provide a venue for the youth of our association to demonstrate their skills in handling alpacas in showmanship classes. The Fibre Exhibition and Vendor’s Market demonstrates the broad spectrum of fibre uses and fine alpaca products. …and don’t forget a fabulous evening of socialization at the Saturday evening banquet and silent auction. Please consider taking advantage of the many sponsorship and advertising opportunities to support this year’s show.

All alpacas entered in the show must be CLAA registered and all alpacas brought to Orangeville must be PCR tested for the BVDV virus. Proof of both is required for registration.
