1 Fleece/4 Shows, 4 Different Judges!!
We're trying something new this year to encourage people to enter fleece shows. The Great Midwest Alpaca Festival is joining Spring Bling, Minnesota Alpaca Expo and Shepherd's Harvest to save you time and money sending your fleeces to one show rather than four individual shows. All you have to do is register for each individual fleece show and then mail your fleeces to Spring Bling. You can then pick up your fleeces or have them mailed back after Shepherd's Harvest. Each show will send the fleece on to the next show.
Your fleeces will be judged by four separate judges.
Spring Bling is March 20 & 21, 2010 so just check the box to have fleeces shipped to the Minnesota Alpaca Expo when you register online for that show. Do the same for the Minnesota Alpaca Expo, April 10 & 11, 2010, and indicate that you want your fleeces forwarded to the Great Midwest Alpaca Festival. When registering for GMAF, April 24 & 25, 2010, check the box to forward fleeces to Shepherd’s Harvest. At the conclusion of Shepherd’s Harvest, May 7 & 9, 2010, your fleeces will be mailed back to you or you can pick them up along with your ribbons.
The judges for each fleece show will be informed that the fleeces may be entered into four consecutive shows. Volunteers at each show will be encouraged to handle each fleece with extra care.
Save time and money on postage by signing up for all four shows and submit your fleeces to Spring Bling.
