Alpaca Festival

This event was in Stringer, MS, on Nov.  17.  There were about a dozen arts and crafts booths and some food booths.  Also some local musicians had a gathering for a jam.  The farm has about 15-20 alpacas, which were friendly and cute, and also some goats, chickens, donkeys, and large dogs.  I went into the small store and there was an assortment of items, some created from alpaca fur.  Also there was a demonstration of weaving.  I was happy to sell one painting, of some dairy cows.  The area has some very well-groomed pastures and the roads were good.  A very enjoyable and interesting day.
