Alpaca Appeal

November 2014

Ready or not, the holidays – and winter! – are approaching. Why not consider giving your family and friends the gift of warmth this season?

Eastland Alpacas hosts its annual Fall Open House this month where you can get an up-close look at where alpaca-wool clothing and décor come from, from animal to yarn to finished products. The farm’s newly expanded boutique will have sweaters, jackets, scarves, gloves, hats, socks, sofa throws and stuffed animals for sale; a wide variety of yarn, raw fiber and roving are available, too.

The Fall Open House also features wagon rides, a 4-H obstacle course and tasty food will be available, too, plus WJTL’s Kids’ Cookie Break will broadcast on Sat.., Nov. 1, 10 a.m.-noon. Event hours: Nov. 1 & 8, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Nov. 2 & 9, 12-4 p.m. Admission is free.
