MANITOWOC, WI – Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center hosts its third annual Alpaca Llama Extravaganza
on Saturday, January 21, 2023. This family-friendly event will allow guests to learn about and explore
these two cousin species.
In partnership with LondonDairy Alpaca Ranch and Black Frog Farm, this event allows guests the
opportunity to meet and pet the animals as they learn more about them. This event will highlight the
unique fiber of alpacas and llamas and how it is commonly used.
While enjoying the animals, visitors will be able to learn from the experts who own and care for them.
Attendees will learn from first-hand experiences what it is like to raise these animals and what makes
the two so different. To commemorate their visit, guests will be able to purchase products made from
both alpaca and llama fiber.
“We look forward to the return this year of one of our most successful events from 2022: Alpaca Llama
Extravaganza,” shares Abigail Winkel, program manager. “The event perfectly highlights how diverse the
agriculture community is in Wisconsin, and does a great job shining a light on the fiber industry in
particular.”
