1. Many members put a piece of green, outdoor carpet down in their llama stall during the show.  9' x 11' is the           size for the lama barn at the Clinton County fairgrounds.  It is better to get one piece to cover the entire             stall because it makes it easier to rake the hay and "whatever" off of it...

2. Don't forget to bring a bucket to any show so your llama can have fresh water.  A five-gallon bucket works great, but smaller buckets are fine.  Llama's rarely dump their water, but a small rope or small piece of wire can secure the bucket.

3. You will try to take you llama out of the stall every couple of hours, during the day, for a bathroom break.                 They will still occasionally go in the stall.  A plastic dustpan and small rake work well to clean the stall.               You can buy pre-made from Rural King or Tractor supply.  Example: click here

4. A good pair of rubber boots are very handy in the pens anytime, especially after rains!   Example:  click here

5. During hot days at the fair, you will need a electric fan to blow air on your lama.  An inexpensive model works           fine. Depending on where your stall is, you might need a short extension cord and a splitter to plug several things into one cord.  Some nylon zip ties (cable ties) will help secure your cord.


6. At the end of any show or fair, be sure to have time to clean up your stall, pick up any nylon straps and                     remove any staples you might have used to secure posters, nametags or other "stuff" to your pen.                     Needle-nose pliers work great.

7.  When you take your Lama to the potty area at the fair, always take them out the south entrance (the entrance towards the hog barn).  The north entrance is only used for grooming your lama.

8.  For the costume class, you need to write and print off a "story" about your costume.  It should be about a minute long, but could be longer.  It will be read aloud over the loudspeaker system as you walk your lama during the competition.  It can be humorous or serious, but should describe to the audience how your costume relates to your lama.  Example:  Onyx was watching a 50's show on her television and decided she wanted to be like the dancers.  She worked for several weeks on an outfit.  When the Clinton County fair arrived, Onyx decided it was the perfect place to wear her costume for the first time.  Don't you think she looks good in her sock hop attire???
