The weather was perfect, the exhibitors energetic, the show crew at their posts and the llamas smiling as the 2008 Buckeye Regional took center stage of the Ohio llama world this past weekend.  Five states were represented throughout the two days of competition.  Our judge was Phil Feiner from Stephentown, New York who kept the show moving, allowing for early dining with llama friends on Saturday night or a longer night’s rest to prepare for Sunday’s classes.  

            Special thanks to the many volunteers that worked tirelessly to make the show flow both days, and also to our show sponsors for their financial support.  We sincerely appreciate your generosity with your time and resources.  Special thanks to Bill Wycoff for designing and bringing obstacles for the performance classes and to Kristy Huffman for being our show photographer.  A big “thank you” to Mitzi Ross who worked both days as our gateperson, keeping everyone lined up and ready to enter the ring.  We feel very fortunate to have such wonderful friends that are willing to volunteer as our show crew each year.
