Vigo County 4-H alpaca show

It’s fair week in Vigo County, Indiana and that's a big deal to hundreds of 4-H'ers who have been working hard on their projects all summer (or longer).

White Violet Farm Alpacas is proudly sponsoring the Vigo County 4-H alpaca club this year.

The alpaca show was this morning and we’re glad to report it was a big success.

Read the article that ran in the Tribune Star on Friday about the alpaca program.

Here are some photos from today.

The obstacle course is fun for the 4-H'ers and audience. It was the last portion of the Vigo County Fair alpaca show this morning.

The 4-H'ers lead White Violet Farm Alpacas through the obstacle course this morning to complete the 2012 Vigo County Fair alpaca show.

  3. Beings I have really enjoyed all these girls and alpacas for quite some time now it has been a very good learning experience and enjoyable as well! All the 4H er's did a great job on all they did this season and we are all proud parents and friends. As the girls involved have a true heart for each of the alpaca's, we are planning fundraisers to prepare them for the 2012 Vigo County Fair week!
