Went to an Alpaca Show last Saturday. The Show was held at the Hicksville Opera House. Weird place to have farm animals, but yep, they had them right in the orchestra area. Just typical for Hicksville!!! The fair was interesting though and I decided that there would be a place on our farm for Alpacas. And David was all for it! Yeah!!! Enjoy the photos!
