2008 Cinco de Mayo weekend in Denver is coming soon!
Welcome back to all those 249 farms from the 2007 show, plus we’re adding stalls in the Stadium Hall “L” to make room for even more farms and alpacas. Join your fellow breeders from 29 states at one of AOBA’s major alpaca shows as we celebrate the coming of May with a great show and lively Saturday night party!
For the results of the Level V AOBA certified 2007 Halter show [1368 entries], please visit the Alpaca Breeders of the Rockies Event Results page.
STALL ORDERS began at noon on 11/15/07 for the Early Bird discount. The $25/stall offer expired January 15, 2008 at midnight and orders postmarked after that date will have to pay the regular amount. Stall order is determined by postmark on the stall order (with payment) sent to ABR, P.O. Box 1965, Estes Park, CO 80517.
SPONSOR sign-ups began on 11/15/07 and a few Silver Sponsorships are still available. Sponsors receive preferred stall locations, banner displays above the show ring and free ads in the Spotlight and other media.
GWAS is seeking applications for candid photographers to work the 2008 show. Forms and information are here.
Major Sponsorship Opportunities are available. Get them quickly….they go fast! Sponsors get prime stall positions and other benefits. Consider advertising your Herdsires and alpacas for sale in the GWAS Spotlight magazine, mailed to all AOBA members. NEW at GWAS for 2007, returning for 2008: Large screens at each ring entrance from the barn, showing the class in the ring, class in the ready area, and the next class up. To support the purchase of needed equipment, GWAS is selling banner ads on these screens. Thursday Night Seminar: Toni Cotton, DVM on “EMAC and Mycoplasma Hemolamae” - Registration Form [PDF] [Word] Sign up for the Saturday night banquet: You are invited to join in an evening of fun, food, & great entertainment-something for everyone! [PDF] [Word] The Great Western Alpaca Show grew out of The Alpaca Breeders of the Rockies, Inc. participation in the Estes Park Wool Market and in 2003 became an independent event with 747 entries shown in the initial show. In 2004 it jumped to a Level V show with over 1056 entries and remains one of the largest alpaca halter shows in the USA, surrounded with fun events and a true Cinco de Mayo welcome.
Never been to GWAS?? Everything happens under one roof at the National Western Complex, so weather is not a daily consideration. It’s only one exit from the junction of Interstates 70 & 25 and is a livestock-friendly environment. Vet check is done in your trailer, with 3 vets on duty to speed things along. We have plenty of large carts and helpers to unload your gear and get you to your stalls quickly. Shredded cardboard bedding is provided as part of your stall fee and you don’t have to do clean-up after the show! And the 125+ ABR volunteers who staff the show, barn and events are mighty friendly and eager to help newcomers.
