Why Change To A Stand Alone Fleece Show?
*This change came about to benefit the fleece show management team and volunteers. The number of hours and volunteers required for the fleece show presented a challenge for those individuals who wanted to participate in the halter and walking fleece classes. They often found themselves not being able to show their alpacas and missed out on the excitement participating in the halter classes provides. This change also allows those volunteers involved in the fleece show to be available for volunteering for the halter show and walking fleece shows.
