National Alpaca Farm Days

Each year, the last weekend in September
celebrates National Alpaca Farm Days.

We go every year, 
it is a wonderful event, hosted by an amazing family.
You may remember that it was on this farm that I learned to knit.
They work very hard getting the farm ready,
cleaning up, decorating the area with mums, cornstalks and pumpkins...
there is free food, hot dogs, chips, cookies and drinks.
Their Coop/Store is open, yarn and hand crafted items are on display,
and there are lots of pretty items and yarn for sale.
Don gives free tours so you can get up close with and feed the Alpaca.
The whole family participates and this is one of the nicest events we attend all year.

 I did snap a few pictures...

I spent several hours knitting with my girls and enjoying the view...
- it was a beautiful day -

    I think it sounds so fun to sit with with a group of friends and knit. I'm sure you have a lively conversation. I do love how unique the Alpaca are. I know their fur is extra soft to touch. I enjoyed looking at all the fantastic photos of this neat event.
    Blessings and hugs!
