I have tons of photos too. I can send you a link to my 4H album in Picasa so you can see more of the obstacle/performance/showmanship.<br /><br />My daughter loves 4H and it really does bond her to the Alpacas she works with.WonderWhyGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427923229119655073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-86948576897942461492012-08-10T18:01:21.380-06:002012-08-10T18:01:21.380-06:00The consume contest looks cute.

Those quilts are really fantastic, like you I've always admired the quilts and their creators but never tried, the last crafts fair I went to were mostly about quilts too ... don't think I'll ever try, my sewing skills stop at buttons ;)Cathy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962518540466499644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-77465162856310429352012-08-10T16:59:58.732-06:002012-08-10T16:59:58.732-06:00We are off to the "Ekka" here in Brisban...We are off to the "Ekka" here in Brisbane this week. Its a massive country comes to the city event that will attract 50,000 people a day. We will have alpaca's but Im guessing mainly on display but if they do have a show or something I promise to have a look for you Kathryn and take some photos for you!

I think though, if you were to add up the number of knit, crochet and woven items to the skeins of yarn, there were still more quilts.Kathryn Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990925295124938262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-62916240809875392012012-08-10T15:48:05.897-06:002012-08-10T15:48:05.897-06:00I am 100% behind anything that gets kids off their...I am 100% behind anything that gets kids off their butts and away from the computer and tv screens!

And I never miss the sheep dog trials. Sometimes they also have a pig race which is always fun. Watch that while eating a hot dog :DVivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391126553849547771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-8232273750480227932012-08-10T10:37:30.013-06:002012-08-10T10:37:30.013-06:00I must admit, I've liked all aspects of the an...I must admit, I've liked all aspects of the animal shows I've seen. Yes, there's a fair amount of down time, but it provides an opportunity to visit the animals. :)Voie de Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863741631512546821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-41817153702016117762012-08-10T09:02:11.524-06:002012-08-10T09:02:11.524-06:00I've enjoyed a 4H show or two at local fairs.....I've enjoyed a 4H show or two at local fairs...I went to one where they let audience member kids go out with the 4H kids to help lead the alpacas....this was very cool for them...I think it might have been Rhinebeck last year...Gracey is not my name....https://www.blogger.com/profile/08972825777648546397noreply@blogger.com
