We are beginning to sign up for spring alpaca shows. Our plan at this point is to attend 3 regular spring shows, then depending on how the shows go, attend Nationals this spring.
March 10 & 11, 2012: Best of the US Alpaca Show Columbus, Ohio
We have attended this show every year and love it! It's always been our first of the spring show season, the first time our juvis are getting in the ring. There is always lots of excitement!
With our show string of these girls:
Enlightenment's Rocky Rose
Smokey's Twilight
ATA Peruvian Lady Bing
JLFA Leonardo's Dutch Harbor
And these boys:
OHVNA Chaska
OHVNA Challenger
Gabriel Star of RobAsia
Our Peruvian Thunder
ATA Peruvian Shamballa
This gives us 4 females, and 5 males. Rose, Twilight, Chaska, Challenger and Gabe are the yearlings, the rest are juvis. As for colors, we will have black (Gabe), brown (Lady Bing), fawn (Dutch and Shamballa), beige (Chaska) and many greys (Challenger and Thunder being rose grey males, Rose being a rose grey female, and Twilight being a dark silver grey female).
April 28 & 29, 2012: Great Midwest Alpaca Festival Madison, Wisconsin
We have attended this show twice now and really enjoy this show. The venue is a bit different, but we love the people there and enjoy the city of Madison.
Because by this point Dutchess will be joining our herd, we are sure we want to get her to a couple of shows, so she will join the show string for this show.

Dutchess
And these boys:
OHVNA Challenger
Gabriel Star of RobAsia
Our Peruvian Thunder
ATA Peruvian Shamballa
May 5 & 6, 2012: Buckeye Alpaca Show Columbus, Ohio
We have never attended this show, but have heard lots about it. We thought this year we should attend this show.
We plan to take the same alpacas to this show as we did to GMAF in Madison. Though this could change depending on how they do at the shows.

Enlightenment's Rocky Rose

ATA Peruvian Shamballa
Depending how well our alpacas do at these shows, we are seriously considering going to Nationals this year:
May 26, 27 & 28, 2012: AOBA 2012 National Show Louisville, Kentucky
Our plan would be to take 6 of our own to this show. Full disclosure of that line up is pending. While we have a feeling who we will be taking, some of it depends on how well they do at the other spring shows.
I updated "Our 2012 Events Schedule" on the right side of the blog with each of these shows, along with their dates, location, and a link to their official web page.
