This is an AOBA certified show and will strictly follow all rules in the most current Show Division Handbook plus all addendums. All classes will be combined or divided according to the AOBA rules.

• All alpacas entered in and present at the show must be ARI registered before they can be shown or on the venue, and a copy of the valid ARI certificate for all animals/fleeces is required to be sent with the entry form. All alpacas entered in the show or present at the venue will be checked for microchip identification and health certificates. Our reader is an Avid universal. If your chips will not register on that, you are responsible for providing a reader compatible with your particular chips.
• All exhibitors entering animals in the halter show must fill out the Exhibitor Disclosure statement and submit a copy to the Halter Superintendent along with payment. The link to the form is on the show website.  
• Our judges for the 2012 show will be Jude Anderson for male halter classes, Jill MacLeod for female halter classes, and Wini Lebrecque for fleece, Suzanne Cox for performance. 
• All animals must be entered in the name/owner/entity as listed on the ARI Registration Certificate or Owner of Record Form (which must be signed by the owner listed on the ARI Registration Certificate.)
• Carefully color check each animal by parting the fiber at mid-side and use the ARI color chart to determine the correct color by checking closest to the skin and by using the Color Definitions as found in the 2011 AOBA Show Division Handbook and Addendums. The handbook and addendums will take precedence.
• Entries made in the Get of Sire and Produce of Dam classes are entered in the name of the Sire or Dam. These animals are also required to pay the entry fees.
• Performance classes will receive cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd as well as ribbons for places 1-6.

Stalling information

Stalls are 10 X 10 "horse" stalls with wood on the bottom half and bars on the top. When doing your pen assignments, please take into consideration that animals may not be able to see other animals. You may wish to bring corral panels to place in front of your stalls so as to leave the stall doors open for easier viewing or better socializing of the animals. Only three animals per stall.

• Companion animals will be allowed if they are ARI registered, meet all health requirements, and are BVD negative by PCR or VI.
• We are NOT providing bedding. Please bring your own stall mats.
• Displays will be allowed in the aisles; however, be sure to leave enough room for animals and people to comfortably maneuver through. An extra stall for farm displays may be purchased if you so desire.
• Sponsors and working volunteers will receive priority stalling.
• Security arrangements for your alpacas to stay over on Sunday night will be provided. Please remove animals by 9 AM Monday. Please indicate on the registration form your intent to stay on Sunday night.
• Questions about stalling should be directed to John and Lynne Richard, Barn Manager, at hunt4der@aol.com. or 912-424-3862.

Preferential stalling will be based on level of sponsorship, willingness to volunteer with show activities and promptness in registration.
