AAWO SpinOff
Saturday, March 18, 2017 - Wednesday, June 28, 2017
Canby, OR
Alpaca Association of Western Oregon is accepting entries for a SpinOff in conjunction with our exhibit at the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. Because we want to be inclusive, you do not have to be an AOA or AAWO member.
This is an easy way to enter a competition - no hauling your alpacas, fleeces, and yourself out to a show. Just mail in a 2-4 ounce fleece sample (which leaves enough of the blanket to be processed or entered in other shows).
An experienced judge will spin a small skein and evaluate it, giving you valuable feedback. Plus, your alpaca's fleece and your farm name will be seen by thousands of Festival visitors.
* 2016 and 2017 fleeces are eligible;
* There's no limit on entries from one farm;
* Cash awards to Judge's Choice in 5 categories;
* $20 entry fee; $5 for Youth/4H.
So check out your fleeces - those stored and those still on your alpacas - and get them ready to send. Our deadline is June 28th.
For more information and to download the entry tag, visit www.alpacafarmsoregon.org.

2017 AOA National Fleece Conference
Friday, July 14, 2017 - Sunday, July 16, 2017
Rancho Cordova, CA
The 2017 National Fleece Conference will be staged at the Marriott Rancho Cordova in Sacramento, California, on July 14–16. The National Fleece Conference is sponsored by Epic Alpacas owned by Steve and Casey Aitchison in Catheys Valley, California.
The National Fleece Show is multifaceted and offers you numerous avenues to compete via the fleece and cottage fleece entries, fiber arts, skein competition, or the handcrafter’s spin-off. The deadline for fleece and cottage fleece entries is June 30. So, there is plenty of time to top last year’s 569 fleece entries.
Judges for this year’s fleece show are: Jude Anderson, Peter Kennedy and Ursula Munro for huacayas, and Kathy Klay for suris.
Another highly-regarded aspect of the National Fleece Conference is the 14th annual Student Design Competition featuring collegiate participants from colleges and universities that have incorporated alpaca textile and fashion into their curricula. This year’s competition theme is: “Alpaca — The Earth Friendly Fiber.” There are more than 130 entries from higher education institutions, the largest number ever in AOA’s history of the competition. Cash prizes are awarded to the winning designs. Stacie Chavez of Sky Ridge Alpacas has underwritten the Textile first place prize and Lynn Edens of Little Creek Farm has underwritten the Fashion first place prize. Other award placements also are being sponsored and will be announced at the conference.

5 Steps to Animal Communication
Saturday, August 19, 2017 - Saturday, August 19, 2017
Somis, CA
5 Steps To Animal Communication Class
by Cindy Myers
When: Aug 19, 9 am to 4 pm. Lunch is included.
Where: Alpacas At Windy Hill, 7660 Bradley Rd. Somis, CA 93066
Cost: $150 per person- EARLY BIRD PRICING $135 per person until July 31
Learn the skills to communicate with your pet by coming to my upcoming class located in Somis, California.
Cindy Myers will be teaching proven techniques to connect intuitively with animals. These techniques work on any species, are easy to learn, and they are fun to practice with your pets!
No alpaca experience is necessary. As a matter of fact, you will learn way more using alpacas and not knowing much about them. All techniques are good for any species of animals but I have found that there is no better instructors in teaching more about your intuition and animal communication then alpacas.
Reserve your spot now!
