2009 Seminars

| Alpaca Shearing |
| Presenter Matt Best of Best Shearing Services and formerly of Magical Farms, Inc. |
The seminar fee for the one day Beginner Classes is $150/person. Both days are the same program.
The Saturday class will be filled first and then the Sunday class will be opened unless an attendee requests Sunday.
The goal of the course is that you will be able to go home and shear your alpacas.
The seminar fee will include classroom & hands on as well as a reference manual.
A catered lunch will also be included as well as coffee & snack for breaks.
Only 12 spots will be available in each class so that all attendees will get an opportunity to actually do some shearing.
Cancellations:
If a cancellation is received 30 days prior to the event tuition paid will be applied toward a future AVA seminar. Cancellations within 30 days of the event will result in the forfeiture of the tuition as expenses have been incurred and potential attendees may have been turned away. Thank you for your understanding.
To reserve your spot please send the seminar fee for each person to:
AuSable Valley Alpacas
