Alpaca Show Management Services is excited to invite you to attend our Fall Alpaca Spectacular 2024!  The last 3 years have been such a success that we have decided to do it all again with an amazing twist.  This years shows will run in the same manner and format as in the past.  Check in will be Thursday, with the shows running Fri - Sun.  To twist things up we will host a Leaves and Laughter dinner & auction benefiting the amazing work done by the National Alpaca Foundation.   Please click here to learn more about this super fun event! 

What's all the hub-bub you ask?  A 5 show, one location format is a win win for all involved, one CVI, one trip off the farm, one drive to the show, one hotel room, one set of meals, one set of stalls, one sponsorship - but 5 shows!  All you have to do to get the 5 show experience is pay the animal entry for the additional shows, that's it.  So for just $50 per show you get a different judge's opinion, all without the additional time, expense, & travel (See above to view the class options for each show).  We are especially pumped to be returning to the Iowa State Fairgrounds.  This location will supply us with a facility that is just spectacular in every way!  It is a true livestock facility, with a wide open layout allowing us to put everything under one roof!  Our goal is to make this the greatest show and the absolute place to be in October!!!! We will run just 3 halter shows, 1 each day.  This Mega show format is tried and true at this point but if it is new to you and you have some questions please do not hesitate to ask.   Of course if you do not want to enter all 5 events you do not have to; feel free to sign up for whatever events you feel will fill your weekend perfectly. No matter what we are 100% committed to making this the most exciting show in history we will be bringing, as always, professionalism and expertise. 

All 5 shows are AOA Certified Halter Shows using the 50/50 judging criteria. They will be facilitated in accordance with the current 2024 AOA show division rules. The Iowa shows are preparing for their 11th year in 2024 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds under the direction of Alpaca Show Management Services which is a blending of show coordinator veterans Kevin O'Leary and Scott Young who together have run Alpaca Shows across the country.

 How to register for the 2024 Fall Alpaca Spectacular

The American Alpaca Showcase is the host show so you have to click on the link above for that show and at the very least register for Stalls and Alpaca Halter Entries, including Small Breeder on that site.  The AAS site is also where you would sign up for Walking Fleece, Production, Sponsorships, Saturday night Dinner and Auction (free of charge) & Vendor spaces.   

The Illinois Alpaca Show registration site will accept Alpaca Halter Entries.

The Diamond Classic Alpaca Show site will accept Alpaca Halter Entries, Small Breeder entries, and Walking Fleece entries.

Please understand we would love for you to sign up for all 5 shows but no matter how many shows you choose to sign up for, you must still go to the AAS registration site to sign up for stalling and other assorted items.  Remember to click through all 3 links in order to sign up for all 5 shows.

How do I PAY for the Show(s)

Once you register for the shows we will email you an invoice showing the cost for all your entries and including a link that you may pay with a credit card if you desire.  You can just click through the link and pay with any credit card you would like or instructions will be given to send a check as well if you prefer.  Please note this emailed invoice is not automatically generated and sometimes takes us a few days to get out to you.   If you get an emailed confirmation from the registration site you are 100% registered for the show.
