"We find that there are a lot of people in the area who come to learn about alpacas, they like to touch the alpacas, they like to learn about the fiber of the alpacas so it's a great opportunity for us to educate people," says Patty Hasselbring, an Alpaca breeder.
If you want to feel an alpaca for yourself, we've got good news! The show runs through Sunday, November 25th and it's free and open to the public starting at 9 a-m.
