The 2nd weekend in April is a truly unique venture for the whole family. Alpaca Breeders representing 20 of the US states will be in here in Owatonna, Minnesota! Hundreds of Alpacas will be walking their owners around the facility, and you will be sure to bump into a few!
You’ve simply never had the opportunity to attend a true Alpaca event in Minnesota of this nature and now you can. Their big beautiful eyes, phenomenal colors and gentle disposition will grab your attention. They are wonderful in presence with one of the most luxurious fibers of many colors, known to man. The splendor of Alpacas has won many hearts of all ages. The humming sounds will have you grinning from ear to ear. Alpacas produce the strongest fiber in the world and is known to be warmer than wool. They do not have lanolin or oils that can be harmful for those that have allergies. The cashmere-like feel allows those with the most sensitive skin to wear alpaca next to the skin. Alpaca fiber is highly sought after in high end fashion and now most yarns are available in your back yard. The prime fleece is virtually free of guard hair that causes the itchy factor. Many products available at the Expo!
There will be approximately 600 hundred alpacas of 22 colors and variations joining in a healthy competition of the best alpacas in the region. Their owners will be available to help with any questions you may have.
