General Information ~ 2008 Show
Pauline Whitaker Animal Science Arena

     Our third Alpacas in the Ozarks Halter and Fleece Show has been moved to the Pauline Whitaker Animal Science Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas (from the Clarksville, AR area).  The arena is conveniently located on the University of Arkansas Campus approximately one mile off Interstate 540.  This entire arena is climate controlled.  It has a packed dirt floor, very large seating area, three large community classrooms for our seminars, a concession area, and a large foyer for some of our vendors.  Our visitors will be welcomed as they enter the Vendor Area in the foyer.
     The arena has an open foyer with excellent lighting, which will provide a nice welcome for our visitors as well as a superb display area for some of the vendors.  For visitors, there is a huge, comfortable seating area.  For exhibitors, there is a packed dirt floor.  For all, there is a nice concession area with excellent food and refreshments.  For seminars and our catered event Saturday night, large community classrooms are available.
      We invite all farms to help make this a quality show.  We anticipate the show will be a Level II, exhibiting over 200 alpacas, which will represent a significant increase over our last show. To enhance your show experience, giving you an opportunity to take home many ribbons from the Alpacas in the Ozarks 2008 Show, we will present ribbons to the first through sixth places in each class.
      Experienced AOBA Judge Kevin O'Leary will judge the Halter and Fleece Shows as well as the Youth Obstacle Event.

Registration & Forms
Sign up early, stalls will be assigned accordingly, first come, first served.  If you want to be located next to another farm, during online registration BOTH farms must clearly state the name of the farm next to which they wish to be adjacent.  THIS REQUEST CANNOT BE MADE ON DAY OF CHECK IN.  Stalls are 10’ x 10’, and a maximum of three adult alpacas per stall will be allowed.  The floor is a packed dirt floor.  Since straw is not permitted due to facility fire codes, we suggest a plastic mesh mat.  No farm displays will be allowed in the aisles due to fire codes.  Display stalls are limited to one per farm, and are available for the same price as an animal stall.

All alpacas must be registered and entered in the name of the current owner on the ARI Registration certificate.  A "Buyer’s Permission to Show" form showing the owner as listed on the ARI Registration certificate must be attached if an alpaca has been purchased and the transfer has not been completed. 

Forms and Online Registration will be added here soon.

Herdsire Breeding Auction
     Our Herdsire Breeding Auction will feature some of the most elite males in our region.
     We encourage farms to donate breedings for the auction. As a Thank You to all farms donating breedings, 60% will be returned to the breeder while only 40% will go to the show. Starting bids will be $1000.00 (minimum bid increments of $100), a great starting price as you will see by the pictures and descriptions of these quality males (on this page as they are received). The 60% will enable the herdsire owner to insure the female will be well taken care of and insure she is confirmed pregnant without undue cost to the owner.
     Arrangements for delivery and contracts should be made between the owner and the successful bidder immediately after the auction closes.
     A picture and a 150 word description will appear here on this website as they are received.
