Welcome!!!

We are very proud to present the second annual Indiana Alpaca
Invitational! Indiana Alpacas, Inc is a private organization of Indiana alpaca breeders created with the goal of founding, organizing and managing alpac arelated events within the state of Indiana with the intention of benefiting the alpaca industry and related charities.

Our first year was a huge success! Over 1100 alpacas, from across the country came to compete in four show rings. And, our Silent Auction and Herdsire Breeding Auction raised nearly $10,000 for local FFA and Young Farmers chapters and for Purdue University. As a first-time show, we certainly had our hiccups, but overall most participants agreed that the IAI was a well organized, first class show. But be ready for some changes to really make this
year’s IAI show even better!

In 2009, we will be limiting the size of the show so that everyone
attending can be in the Main Expo. While it may mean that not everyone will be able to attend, we feel that the somewhat smaller size will be appreciated by all. We are also changing the host hotel. This year, the Holiday Inn right across the street from the Coliseum will be complete. This hotel will have a shuttle available, a full restaurant and an indoor pool!

Also new for 2009 is a Fleece Show! This is a great way to let last year’s show string rest while they continue to win ribbons. We are excited to add this component to the show that is so vitally important to our industry. Remember, a fleece can be shown for a full year after it was shorn (see AOBA Show Rules).

Of course, we plan to spoil our sponsors even more! In 2008, sponsors enjoyed preferred Check In along with other benefits. But you don’t have to be a sponsor to have a great time. Everyone will be able to take advantage of
the local FFA and Young Farmers volunteers that will be there again to help unload the trailers. And let’s not forget the fantastic location! The Allen County War Memorial Coliseum is wonderful, spacious, and conveniently
located.

Let the Indiana alpaca breeders, and the city of Fort Wayne, show you how life can be great in the Midwest!
