Here we go again!! The 2022 event will feature
3 shows this year; The North American Alpaca Show, The Northeast
Alpaca Expo, and the Walking Fleece Show!
We will again have stall limits - setting them at 10 total
stalls per farm. Lastly, we are expanding the Walking
Fleece Show by folding it into the North American Alpaca Show.
That means all breeders may enter alpacas in these classes.
We have been doing WF classes at all of our shows for several
years now and they are absolutely loved by exhibitors for the
personal evaluations they supply to each alpaca for the owners.
Please consider entering these classes as they will essentially
give you a 3rd show to enter for the weekend and enhance the
exhibitor's overall show experience. This will be
year 20 for NAAS and the 10th year of the Expo and with the
Walking Fleece Show we will have all 3 shows happening under 1 roof in 1 weekend!
In 2022 check in day is
Friday, April 1st. So just like past shows NAAS & Expo will run
in 2 rings with 2 judges over 2 days. Robin Nasemann will judge
NAAS and Arturo Pena will judge the Expo. NAAS will start with
female alpacas on day 1 and the Expo will judge all males. On
day 2 they will judge opposite genders. That's it just a normal
2 ring, 2 judge, 2 day show, easy! As for the Walking Fleece
classes, David Barbosa will be judging them first thing Saturday
morning.

How to register for the 2022 Spring Alpaca Spectacular
The North American Alpaca Show
is the host show so you have to click on the link above for that
show and at the very least register for stalls and animal
entries on that site. The NAAS site is where you would sign
up for many of the items for the weekend including:
stalls, walking fleece, sponsorships, vendor space, meals and NAAS animal
entries, etc.
The Northeast Alpaca Expo
registration site will only accept animal entries into the NEAE.
For just $45 more it is crazy to not sign up for both shows but
in case you only want to come to the NEAE, don't forget to go to
the NAAS registration site for your stalling & Sponsorships.
How to pay for your registrations This year
we will be accepting
credit cards as a form of payment. If you would like to pay via
cc, follow this process; complete the registration just as you
always would, when you are finished click the submit button thus
generating a confirmation email that will be sent to both you
and the show superintendent. Upon receiving that email, an invoice including both
show's totals will be sent with a link to a secure payment
site. Take note of your total when clicking on that link. This
will bring you to a page where you fill out your payment
information and click submit. All done, notification from the
credit card company that you have paid will be sent to us and
will be then noted on your account. Please make sure the
amount you are submitting is correct and as always please do so
in a timely manner. Registrations are not final
until payment is received.
North American Alpaca Show Judges
Robin Nasemann- All Halter
classes
Northeast Alpaca Expo Judges
Arturo Pena- All Halter Classes &
Production Classes
This year's North American
Alpaca show will be judged on a 50/50 basis and the Northeast
Alpaca Expo will be judged on a 50/50 basis. We are
going to have two rings, one for each show.
The show will be offering some new and exciting seminars, all free of charge. Please
look at the schedule of events and seminar outlines which will be online
soon. Due to space
limitations some seminars will be limited to 30 attendees on a first come, first served basis.
Also at this year's show we will be holding a silent auction
with proceeds benefiting the Nunoa Project and the Camelid
Studies program both headed by Dr. Steve Purdy. Both of
these very noble and worthwhile programs need our support.
If you would like to donate items for the auction, or money to help with the effort you can
please visit
www.nunoaproject.org.
Please remember that the weather in early spring can be
unpredictable in New England, so come prepared! Should you have
any questions relating to the show, please don't hesitate to get
in touch with one of the organizing farms.
Don 't forget to send your AOA Alpaca Registration's, Exhibitor's Disclosure Forms (NAAS, NEAE) & Owner of Record for Show Entry Form (if
applicable) to the Show Superintendent.
We look forward to seeing you in Springfield at the 2022 Spring Alpaca Spectacular!
