Wool Arts Tour 2008

Instead of 'boring' y'all with the complete details of each of my fellow vendors, I will send you here-http://www.woolartstournh.com/locations/MirageAlpacas.htm-and you can get more information about them and their products. Plus it is a good plug for our host and the Wool Arts Tour. (o;

These 2 boys were donated by Bill & Audrey Rhoades and then raffled off with the donations going to the NH Food Bank. http://www.nhfoodbank.org/

Our friends Sue & Tom Connary won the raffle and took them home on Monday.

A year ago at Wool Arts Tour a cria was born. This year Audrey & Bill had a birthday 'party & cake' for Wats (the cria). The first picture is of this year's vendors and the alpaca with the pink ribbon is 1 year old Wats.

Sue looks stunned that they won, but then they both are happy that they won the 2 boys.

Shari is trying to convince the first alpaca that he wants to get in her van to go home to Sue & Tom's. And Bill is trying to hand off the second alpaca to Shari.

They are now happily at Sue & Tom's getting acquainted with all their sheep.
