I was invited to speak at the Eastern Middle School Job Fair in the Forest Hills Public School District yesterday. I was of course speaking about my job as an Alpaca Farmer. This is the third year I have gone to the fair but the first time I took alpacas. The girls were the star event! I took Esmerelda and Areiya. Both are crias born this past fall. They were amazing. They were adorable and the kids loved them. I brought a slew of alpaca related items for the kids for show and tell. While that was of some interest they could not keep their eyes off the crias. I gave a fifteen minute talk about alpaca farming and in this picture they were listening to me as I was answering some of the questions they had to fill out on their forms. The crias were tough competition! But I didn't mind. I am just happy there was so much interest. It was a great day. I finished about 11 AM and got home just in time to bottle feed our new kid goats.
I spoke at Career Day last year...never thought about taking a couple of Alpacas. Good call. Nice display for all of your product too.
ReplyDeleteI love how alpacas like to stand with their necks close together like that ... so cute!
ReplyDeleteThey stood that way the entire time! I think they were a bit nervous. It was their first time off the farm. But they did so wonderful. I am proud of them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great opportunity, it looks like a fun day!
