Quite a day for Llama Lovers



Brittany Haughey feeds her llama, Phantom, outside of the llama obstacle course.

At 9 a.m. this morning I got to see the 4-H fair llama show. The Allen County Llama Lovers who participated are the largest group of their kind in the state.

The first part of the show was an obstacle course that included ramps, hoops, and cones. Groups ranged from beginner to advanced, and slowly one by one llamas completed the course. The event was judged by Beth Myers and Mary Jo Miller.

By talking to Llama Lovers members and leaders, I learned enough about llamas to probably raise one myself! They are adorable, gentle animals. And wandering around the fair, I stumbled into the horse driving competitions. The next major event is the Classic Car Cruise In, which I wouldn't miss, so I'm headed back to the fair!



Horse driving trials started at 11 a.m.




Antique tractors were on display outside of the tractor-pull arena.
