The last weekend in September you will find alpaca farms all over the United States and Canada opening their gates to welcome the public. This annual event is a great opportunity for us to share information about the breed and for you to get a better look at these wonderful animals. Alpacas at Tucker Creek will be open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on both Saturday, September 26th and Sunday, September 27th.During the weekend you will have the opportunity to see the daily activities involved in working with alpacas including cleaning the barn and pastures, feeding, toe nail trimming, shearing and breeding--depending on your time of arrival. There will also be farm tours and fiber spinning demonstrations. We are fortunate to have local fiber artist, Peggy Boisvert, joining us for part of the weekend. Alpaca yarn and finished products are available in our farm store--a great way to start your Christmas shopping.
Please join us as we love sharing these wonderful animals with visitors. Refreshments will be served and there will be drawings throughout the day. The only cost for admission is a nonperishable food item for the Clatsop Community Action Regional Food Bank or the Clatsop County Animal Control Shelter. Look forward to seeing you there. Please follow this link for directions.
