The Breeder's Showcase - PAOBA's signature event
Pennsylvania Alpca Owners and Breeders Association
Well, it's almost here, the 16th Annual Breeder's Showcase! Once again we are taking over the Utz Arena at the York County Fairgrounds. Alpacas from all over the state and from the surrounding area will be pouring into the building on Friday, November 11th to be color checked and officially registered for the show. Once the animals are settled, the fleece is displayed and the Silent Auction table is laid out just right, the volunteers will go home for some much needed rest.
Saturday and Sunday will be bustling with energy. The public will begin streaming into the building to watch halter and performance shows, learn about alpaca fiber and it's various uses, talk with breeders about raising alpacas as livestock. We will have a Fashion Show on Saturday. If you see something that was modeled, you can walk right up to that vendor and try it on for yourself. We'll have artisans in the hallway to help you with your holiday shopping. We'll have selfies with the alpacas, raffles for great give away items, a lively herdsire auction on Saturday night at our 'Meet & Greet that can't be Beat' located in our Host Hotel - The Wyndham of York. We will hear from our Alpaca Ambassador candidates and choose next year's Princess. We will network, share a few laughs and strategize for our future.
The PAOBA Breeder's Showcase is one of 3 major events that takes place during the year and certainly the highlight for Breeders. The other two events are a significant presence at Farm Show in January and the Summer Seminar where breeders come together without their animals to learn and network. PAOBA is a wonderful organization to belong, volunteer, learn and grow. We hope to see you this weekend in York!!
