Summertime is 4-H fair time here in the U.S.   4-H is youth development club.  You can show a pig, make a quilt, wood work, create a lego work of art, bake....just about anything is fair game for a kid project.

The past two weeks the kids have been feverishly making  posters, making notebooks, soldering circuit kits, posing for pictures, being in parades, washing llamas, showing hamsters, and creating of all things... a llama costume!

 Yes there is an actual llama and alpaca club.  The costume show was this weekend.  My girl had to show him in an arena to a song track of her choosing dressed up.  

 She chose Viva Pinata...  anyone know that game/show?    We call him a "Llamon Drop"

It was a chore getting this thing on him... It tore several times requiring taping continuously.Sterling HATED this thing.  The other llamas in the stalls next to him were reaching their heads in to eat his costume too. 

The costume tail caught on the gate when she entered the arena showing too.  By the time judges were handing out the ribbons, he had ripped it.   

If I can figure out how to put video in this blog, I have a hilarious video of the llama attempting to snack on her hat during judging line up.  It's really cute and funny.   My girl gets so angry cause Sterling won't leave her hat alone while they're supposed to stand still in front of everyone.

 The music worked fine too.. thanks to Lucky for that      OH, she won 3rd place in her division
