| The 2011 Farm Days at Alpacas of Niagara were the biggest and, we think, the best so far. We had beautiful weather, no one was injured and everyone had a good time. Of the new activities, having all the children make hand felted mice from alpaca fiber was a big hit. Of course the hay rides with the antique tractor remain a popular attraction and lots of fun.
Loom with a View” made its debut. The six sided room features large alpaca viewing windows all around, a vaulted ceiling and opportunities to view working artisans. Guests also could try their hands at spinning and weaving. NAS is organizing weaving opportunities for interested guests.
The Niagara Alpaca Shop continues to expand its inventory with emphasis on locally manufactured and made in the USA. There is also an expanded selection of hand spun and hand made products from local artisans.
Thanks to our staff of volunteers who made Farm Days such a huge success. Also, many thanks to all our visitors. We hope to see you all again next September.
