The dates of the 2011 Flock & Fiber Festival Llama
Show are the 24th and 25th of September.
This year we will be doing a shorn fleece show (keep those fleeces handy!) and will have an area
for selling fleeces. Fleece-on classes will be run with halter classes on Saturday and
performance classes will be on Sunday.
Here is the 2011 OFFF Show Packet in a word document and also as
a PDF file in case your printer or computer does something funny
with the formatting!
For fleece entries and the youth fiber project, be sure to check the information below - it is a supplement to the show packet.
ILR forms for entering shorn fleeces to be judged. These are a
requirement for shorn fleece entries.
Here are the forms for SALE fleeces - first, the Instructions for sale fleeces in Word
format and also as a PDF, second, the Fleece Information form in Word format
and a PDF. These are also in the show packet that was updated (and uploaded) on the 23rd of August.
Information about shorn fleece and coat-on/fleece-on fiber types including the "do's" and
"don'ts" of fiber preparation for ILR judging.
Information about the youth "made-with-my-llama's-fiber" project that the
Willamette Valley Llama Association is sponsoring. This is a two page
document - scroll down to page 2.
WVLA is also sponsoring the annual youth costume competition (held around
noon on Sunday) - cash prizes for both fiber projects and costumes! Many thanks to
WVLA for their involvement in our show!
July news

Are you interested in some panels for around your place? OFFF has 8 foot panels, 10

2010 Wrap-up:
It was cool to have our ILR show combined with
the NW ALSA Regional last year. Thanks to Marilyn Milton for championing the effort to bring the two shows together at
OFFF and taking care of all the registration details, clerking the show and reporting results to both ILR and ALSA - Marilyn
you are my hero! Our judges, Pam Jensen and Philip Feiner were great to work with and helped keep the atmosphere fun and
relaxed. Thanks to everyone who brought their animals and to those who pitched in to help! Unfortunately, ALSA has decided
that a regional cannot be combined with another show [who makes these rules anyway???] so we are just doing an ILR show this
year.
As always, my thanks to Brandy Chastain, the Festival Organizer and the OFFF
Board for their support of our show and the Best of Show Diamond Award - you all are great to work with and thanks for
including the llamas!
