National Alpaca Farm Days
Submitted by marcysmith on 09/23/2008 - 08:38
Yes, I know your calendars are already marked for National Alpaca Farm Days this weekend! Last April we introduced you to this lovely lady:
 This is Prissy Girl, just after her coif in the spring. She lives at Kipling Pines Alpacas in Kipling, in Harnett County. On Saturday, the farm will be open to visitors from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.Â
Cathy Knight, owner of the farm, writes: "You are invited to come sit on the porch or under the shade trees and spin or knit if you would like. "
"Children are definitely welcome! Bring your camera and friends. We are about 8 miles south of Fuquay, just off Hwy 401South."

They are delightful animals and beautiful. The fiber spun from the Alpaca wool is wonderful. Hope folks take advantage of the visit this eekend.
