Denver, CO – It’s that time of year again! Livestock will walk through the streets of Denver, kicking off the National Western Stock Show. A crowd favorite, alpacas, are returning to this year’s parade.
Beginning at noon on Thursday, January 6, Alpacas and members of Alpaca Breeders of the Rockies, as well as a truck and trailer will make their way from Union Station twelve blocks down 17th Street to Glenarm place.
Joining this year’s festivities is Executive Director of the national Alpaca Owners Association (AOA) Robin Gifford. Located in Lincoln, Nebraska, AOA is the world’s largest alpaca association.
The alpaca show will take place on January 8, beginning with an opportunity for the public to come into the arena and talk to the exhibitors and experience the softness of alpaca fleece first-hand. Immediately after, the alpaca halter show will begin, judged by AOA certified judges Kevin O’Leary and Diana Timmerman.
