I can’t go, but someone else might be interested! Here is a map for the geographically challenged (kk). Utica is the site of that big tornado that killed a bunch of people last year, and I try to go support local events when I can.

I’ve had an online friend for years now, who owns over 200 acres in Idaho. He has so many alpaca(s?)… He’s offered before, to send me his sheerings but I don’t know thing one about washing, carding, spinning, dying… :shock: I’d just have one massive lump of wool and not a clue how to use it.

YEAH YEAH YEAH…I KNOW! :rollseyes:
