Wow! Where has this year gone? Seems like we were just<br />
getting started on the 2011 Gold Country Gathering and now<br />
we need to look at the <strong>2012</strong> show!<br />
I want to say “thank you” to all who attended, sponsored and<br />
volunteered to make this year’s show such a success. We<br />
could not have done it without everyone.<br />
Eva and I hope everyone had a great time this year. Great<br />
weather, good competition and some great food Friday and<br />
Saturday night! And the venue is so beautiful.<br />
One alpaca sold at the auction and we will be working on getting<br />
all the “kinks” out for next year if you would like to see the<br />
auction continue. For $50, it’s a great way to advertise your alpacas<br />
and you ranch.<br />
The costume contest was a lot of fun and the two young handlers<br />
with the dressed up alpacas where great! And who says<br />
suri’s are hard to handle? Not for those two!<br />
So, moving forward to <strong>2012</strong>, Eva and I would really like to know<br />
what you would like to see at next year’s show. Do we ad performance<br />
classes? What would you like to see changed?<br />
Please contact Eva or Kay with any suggestions.<br />
Dates for <strong>2012</strong> will be October 20-21 so mark your calendar<br />
now! Also, please consider helping out at this<br />
show. We will be looking for a lot of volunteers to make<br />
<strong>2012</strong> even better.
