National Alpaca Farm Day in the USA

September 29th and 30th, 2007

The Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (AOBA) has designated the last weekend in September 2007 as National Alpaca Farm Day in America.  This is the time of year a lot of farms and ranches invite the public to get acquainted with alpacas anyway, so we have decided to make it a national event.  

To promote the weekend the AOBA marketing committee is hard at work on this project supported by AOBA's PR firm who is developing media programs,   slogans, banners, and other advertising material. 

Within each state, the various regional affiliates of AOBA will be approaching the State  Governor to request for a proclamation that the last weekend in September be declared Alpaca Farm Day in Oregon, for example.

In the Pacific Northwest the following AOBA regional affiliates will be coordinating their efforts on National Alpaca Farm Day.

Those affiliates are:

State of Jefferson Alpaca Association.  www.sojaa.org

Willamette Alpaca Breeders Association www.alpacas-waba.org

Pacific Northwest Alpaca Association www.pnaa.org
